Travel - Internal
AIR: Chartered planes are available, though these are expensive.
Departure tax: US$20.
ROAD: Traffic drives on the right. There are three types of road: National Routes which are tarmaced, Provincial Routes which are in quite good condition and Local Routes which are not tarmaced and on which a four-by-four vehicle might be a bonus. Extra care should be taken at night, as taxis use full headlights. The network is generally sparse; the roads linking the capital with Butare, Bugarana and the frontier posts are, however, good. Driving is not recommended and visitors are advised to exercise extreme caution. Bus: Services are operated by the Ministry of Transport and Communications and are classified into three groups: Urban (route numbers prefixed by A, B or C); Suburban (D routes); and Interurban. A timetable and tariff booklet is available in Rwanda. Taxi: Available in Kigali and other large towns. Fares should be agreed in advance. Tipping is not expected. Car hire: Limited facilities in Rwanda. There are no international car hire firms operating, but there are local companies in Kigali. Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
