Why the Rwanda–Tanzania route matters
Rwanda reaches the sea via Tanzania's Central Corridor — transit goods, fuel and regional trade move the franc–shilling rate between Kigali and Dar es Salaam.
Both currencies vs the US dollar
RWF official
1 USD = 1,471.99 RWF
TZS official
1 USD = 2,629.09 TZS
FRw10,000 = TSh17,861
1 RWF = 1.79 TZS · derived from the two USD legs

Why it costs more than the fee: RWF and TZS both price through the US dollar — there is no deep direct RWF/TZS market. So the route's true cost includes each currency's spread to USD: you can lose a little on BOTH conversions, not just on the visible transfer fee. Compare the USD-anchored rates above, not only the headline fee.
