🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Kigali (Nyabugogo bus station) → Kayonza (Inema Hotel vicinity)
💡 From Kigali city centre, take a moto or taxi to Nyabugogo station (RWF 500). Matatus heading to Kayonza fill quickly—arrive early for a seat. Get off at the Kayonza market stop; Inema is a 3-minute walk up the dirt road beside the Total garage. Carry small notes; drivers rarely have change.
Kigali International Airport (KGL) → Kayonza bus stop (near Inema Hotel)
💡 This is the cheapest airport transfer. The coach drops you at the Kayonza junction off the A2, then it's a 5-minute walk or a RWF 200 pousse-pousse (bicycle taxi) to Inema. Buy your ticket at the airport kiosk—cash only. The bus has AC but can be cramped.
