| Cyangugu is a city in Western Rwanda. | |
| Pronounced something like "Tchangugu", this is a city right on the southern tip of lake Kivu, as well as Changugu proper the term also refers to Kamembe, a town a few km away just up a hill overlooking the lake. | |
| Primarily this town is used as a stopover to or from Bukavu in southern DRC, however it is a pleasant place to spend a few days. | |
| There are regular buses and minibuses to Butare and Kigali in Rwanda. | |
| The town is right on the boarder with Bukavu and DRC. | |
| There is also a road south to Bugarama and from there to either DRC or Burundi. | |
| This is less frequented than the route east to Butare but it should be possible to arrange transport. | |
| Taxi-moto (motorbike Taxis) are the main form of transport within Cyangugu (and between Cyangugu and Kamembe). | |
| Nyungwe National Park is 54 km along the Butare road (not 20km as the sign in town says). | |
| Cyangugu is a useful place to stock up if you're heading to Nyungwe National Park. | |
| All the usual Rwandan fare is easily available from lunchtime buffets to brochettes. | |
| There is a range of guest houses and hotels from around 3'000Francs upwards. | |
