Travel documents for Kenya to Rwanda

What the Trinity Express Nairobi to Kigali bus journey looks like

This is a full day on the road with two immigration stops and scheduled meal breaks. Passengers stay with the coach between borders, so pack an overnight kit — power bank, warm layer and any medication — in your cabin bag rather than the hold.

Nairobi to Kigali bus cabin classes and fares

The VIP sleeper is the most requested class on this route because of its length. Fares are shown in your preferred currency on the booking form, and the seat you pick online is the seat held for you at the terminal.

Tips for the Trinity Express Nairobi to Kigali bus
