Why go

An hour in the air, and the connection that opens most of the rest of this list. Weekend trips, conferences, and the airport a lot of our routings actually leave from.

What to know before you book

  • Movement within the East African Community is straightforward — often a valid passport or ID is enough
  • Many of our long-haul routings connect here, so a night in Kigali can be cheaper than a tight connection
  • The road from Bujumbura is a real option when the flight times do not suit
When to go
Any month. The long rains, March to May, slow the road but not the flights.
Who it suits
Business, conferences, weekends, connections
