Getting There

  • Car Rental

    If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Musanze (formerly known as Ruhengeri). Head south on the RN4 road towards the town of Nyabihu. Continue on RN4 for approximately 25 km until you reach the junction at the entrance of Volcanoes National Park. Turn left onto the road leading towards Volcanoes National Park. Singita Kwitonda Lodge is located approximately 7 km from this junction. Follow the signs to the lodge, and be prepared for a short drive on unpaved roads. Make sure to have a GPS or a reliable map, as signage might not be clear.

  • Public Transportation

    If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from Kigali to Musanze. Buses frequently depart from Nyabugogo Bus Terminal in Kigali, and the journey takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, costing around RWF 1,500 to RWF 2,000. Once you arrive in Musanze, you can hire a motorcycle taxi (known as 'moto') or a local taxi to take you to Singita Kwitonda Lodge. The moto ride will cost approximately RWF 3,000 to RWF 5,000 and will take around 30 minutes. Make sure to negotiate the fare before the ride.

  • Guided Tour

    Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation from Kigali or Musanze to Singita Kwitonda Lodge. Many tour operators offer packages that include transport, meals, and activities. This option can be more comfortable and informative, as guides will provide insights about the region and help with logistics. Prices vary depending on the package, but expect to pay upwards of $150 per person for a day tour that includes transport.
