    Getting TO/AROUND: The roads to the main destinations around the country are easily accessible by minibus on mostly tarmac roads in good condition.

    Just take care to take express buses if you travel between towns. They charge the same price as the -in East Africa at least- more usual unbelievably packed minibuses that don't leave until full and stop in every tiny little village.

    At least 2 companies are serving the expressmarket, Okapi and Actuel Punctuel (something like that). The departure is on fixed time no matter how many passengers. And they don't stop inbetween. They don't allow more passengers than seats available. Isn't that unique service?

    In towns you can use motorbike or ordinary bike taxis. Is cheap and creates many jobs.

     Bo nobo, you have an amazing page here and I came back to visit once more before I move to Rwanda for 6 months next week. I will be hitting most of places you have visited in hope that I will have as good of time as you had! Thanks for your input! Cheers

     Ms. Fossey's work has long been a story of great emotion for me. I did not know the memorial site was still intact. I had heard that the murderers of the genocide had destroyed it. thanks.    		chewy3326 Fri Mar 17, 2006 20:20 UTC
     Rwanda has probably been unfairly stereotyped as a very violent nation, but it looks very beautiful and diverse. Great page!
