If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Byumba. Head southwest on Avenue de la Paix towards Avenue de l'Indépendance. Continue straight for about 2 km until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto RN 4 toward Kigali. Drive for approximately 10 km, then watch for signs indicating Rwibumba. As you approach the area, you may need to take a left turn onto a smaller road that leads directly to the wetland area of Rwibumba. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for the road conditions, especially if it rains.
