Kigali, Rwanda's capital, is a 9 hour bus ride from Kampala. The terrain on this trip is stunning - rolling green hills, picturesque villages and dramatic valleys line the entire route. The all-day trip is tiring but well worth it - especially the last few hours, in the Rwandan countryside, as the evening sun ignites the landscape in a fiery orange. Arriving in Kigali, you will find a city sprawling over many hills and valleys. It is a welcoming, warm place, and an emotional and powerful area to explore.
