Transportation from the City Center to N'djili Airport
There is no public transportation facility to N'djili Airport, which is located approximately 25 kilometers southeast of Kinshasa city center. For this reason, transportation options such as taxi and car rental can be used to get to the airport from the city center.
It is possible to reach the airport in approximately 30 minutes by taxis departing from the city center. Taxi is one of the most suitable options for those who plan to go to the airport comfortably from the city center, and another alternative at this point is renting a car. For car rental, the rental offices in the airport or city center can be contacted.
In addition, some hotels in the city provide shuttle services between the airport and the city center. For this reason, before coming to Kinshasa, it is useful to talk to the officials of the hotel where you will stay and get information about the subject.
Transportation from Bujumbura Airport to City Center
Bujumbura, formerly known as Usumbura, is the economic capital, largest city and main port city of Burundi. Although it lost its capital status to the city of Gitega in 2019 due to some economic and political reasons, it is still the most important city in the country.
Bujumbra Airport, the only airport in the country with an asphalt runway, is also located here. Bujumbura International Airport, officially known as Melchior Ndadaye International Airport, is also Burundi's only international airport.
Burundi is a country that has alienated its visitors due to decades of social unrest, which is why it is largely untouched and out of popular tourist routes. Burundi is attracting more and more visitors as conditions and safety improve.
Among the places to see in Burundi are Kibira National Park, the hot springs on the banks of the Nile in Rutovu, Karera Falls and Lake Nyanza. In addition, Burundi's Rusizi, Bururi and Rwihinda Lake natural parks should not be forgotten.
In addition to incredible natural landscapes, the cities of Bujumbura and Gitega promise different experiences as cultural centers of the country than many tourism destinations.
Your best option to come to the city from the airport is the airport transfer, which your hotel offers for a fee or free of charge. You should confirm this with them before starting your journey.
In a country like Burundi, where the infrastructure is not very developed, it is best not to go to the city center by any vehicle from the airport. In this way, as soon as you get off the plane, you will be greeted by a professional waiting with your name in hand and your hotel transfer will be made quickly.
Another option is to take a taxi. The taxi rank is located just outside the arrivals hall. You reach the city center with a 10-minute journey from the airport. It is recommended that you agree the total fare with the driver before the trip.
As a last possibility, if you came to Burundi for business, you can ask the company you came from or a colleague to pick you up from the airport. The city center is only 8 km from the airport and this journey takes 10 minutes by passenger cars.
