While a great section of this drive is on a paved road up until you get to Rukungiri, the last section ( from Rukungiri – Kambuga – Kihihi – Butogota and finally gets you to Buhoma) is not paved and conditions of the road can worsen especially during the long rainy season months of March, April & November – causing the roads to become slippery and sometimes impassable. We recommend hiring a functioning 4×4 vehicle together with an experienced local driver guide to help navigate this route.
