Traffic drives on the right. Some local roads are not paved and a 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed. There can be landslides on some of the major roads during annual rainfall in spring and autumn. 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: Minibuses and government vehicles operate regular routes in Rwanda. Services are operated by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. 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. Fuel is expensive.

Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
