Hello,

I will be moving quickly through Rwanda to get to Kampala as Im behind schedule and need to catch a flight. I was wondering if people knew whether there are buses throughout the day from Kigali to Kampala or are there only overnight buses.

Im having some trouble getting ahold of individual bus companies and just want to know if I arrive in Kigali in the morning whether I can catch a bus then or if I will have to wait until the night to get a bus.

Thanks so much!

If you need to geet detailed info on departures, I would try calling the operators in Kigali:

Jaguar Bus Company, Tel: +250 08614838
ONATRACOM Tel: +250 571241
Regional Coach Services Tel: +250 08866792

Trust and hope the numbers are valid, but this is not always the case.........................

I'll second that. It's quite a scenic ride too, particularly in Rwanda.

Slightly late for this OP, but perhaps useful info' for others passing through - "waiting to get a night bus" on this route would not be advisable!
Besides, buses rarely/not allowed to operate at night outside of Kigali anyway.
