What is it like to ride a motorcycle in Kigali?

Driving around Kigali is a unique and easy experience. Its roads within the city are paved and in good condition, although some smaller ones are red dirt and have some potholes. There is usually a lot of traffic, but it is not very dense and fluid. The maximum speed in urban areas is 60 km/h, 100 km/h on highways and 120 km/h on motorways. However, you will see that the inhabitants do not usually respect these limits, but they are very friendly and always look out for the good of other drivers. It is normal to see people walking on the shoulders of the road and animals crossing you. To avoid problems, we recommend not driving at night, as this is when carjackers act. The use of the helmet is mandatory and also driving with the lights on.
