Rwanda has a good road system, and plenty of modern, well-maintained minibuses serve all the main routes from dawn ‘til dusk.

Minibuses leave when officially full - which means when all the seats are occupied, unlike neighbouring countries where many more are squeezed in.The best minibuses are privately run, scheduled services operated by Okapi Car, Trans Express 2000, Atraco Express and Virunga Ponctuel.

Destinations covered include Butare, Gisenyi, Kibuye and Ruhengeri, and departures are guaranteed to leave - hourly in many cases.

They are less crowded and drive more carefully than the usual minibuses, but cost a little more.
