Murugo Bay arrival and departure are by boat! Prior to your arrival date, please communicate with Arsene about your arrival time so that he can organize the boat according to your preferences! Please also give Arsene a heads-up about when you would like to leave on your last day so that he can organize with the boat driver accordingly. 

Arriving from Kigali

You can park in Kigufi at Maison St. Benoit, which is about 3.5 hours from Kigali by car/taxi. This is a safe parking lot located within a convent (nunnery); the sisters here are so lovely, and they have been family friends for over 10 years. Arsene will meet you in the parking lot, and he will help to get all your belongings into the boat! The boat rides to and from Kigufi-Murugo Bay are about 20-25 minutes each way.

Arriving from Goma

Once you have crossed the border (grande barrière), we can arrange for the boat to pick you on the public beach in Gisenyi (just beside the border). Arsene will share the exact details about the boat meeting location. The boat rides to and from Gisenyi beach-Murugo Bay are about 45 minutes each way.
