Was in Kigali about 10 or 12 years ago, not long after the war.

Were a lot of people from MTN up there at one time.

Hi Phillip
I will send you a PM re info on roads down to Mozambique. I'm enquiring on behalf of Jo Rust, a young lady who's nearly completed her solo ride around Africa. You can contact her on the forum or on facebook to give her advice and I'm sure she would appreciate a place to stay over on her way past you. She has a 59 page ride report thats nearly always on the first page of the rr section. Look forward to hearing from you.

Being here in Rwanda now for 19 months, and suffering from PMS (Parked Motorbike Syndrome), the search for affordable and trustworthy bikes to explore this beautiful country better, kicked in.

It is amazing how the bush telegraph manages to present bikes out of nowhere. Most Rwandans do not ride anything bigger than 125 or 150cc, and off road / DS bikes are normally left behind by expats leaving the country. Obviously when they discover that the Muzungu wants a moto, the price doubles. After long negotiations we managed to first get the DR400Z for Tollie, then I acquired the DR650 R Dakar, (White one). Both bikes needed some TLC, the 650 a bit more than the 400, but we have both good wheels now here in Rwanda.

Bikes which also came forth were a Honda CR 125, Yamaha 450 WR and a KTM 450, Honda XR 250 R with a 23" front wheel.

Will post more pics in due course.
