Getting Between Kigali's Work Locations
Norrsken (KG 7 Ave), kLab (city centre), and Impact Hub (Kimihurura) are 10-20 minutes apart in Kigali traffic. Bolt handles these trips cheaply during the day. For visiting professionals who need to move between the coworking space, client offices, and conference venues -- and have luggage -- a rental car is more practical. Our city sedan option from $35/day is ideal for a Kigali working week.
