What is the road and infrastructure like in Rwanda?
A. In general the road infrastructure from the capital Kigali to all major towns in Rwanda is good however there is the possibility of landslides on the some of the major routes during the annual rains in late spring and autumn. Road travel after dark should be avoided where possible as roads are unlit and driving standards are generally poor in comparison to western countries. The most common form of public transport within and between towns is shared taxis (mini-vans) and although relatively cheap, they are often crowded and are the most vulnerable to accidents. Internal flights are very limited in Rwanda, with flights only running twice weekly between Kigali and Cyangugu in the far west. Our recommended air carriers in and out of Rwanda are Kenya Airways (and KLM from Europe) and South African Airways.
