Reaching your Bukavu workshop
Bukavu does not have a main railway station; most long-distance travel is by road or boat. For those travelling by road, the city is accessible via major routes such as the RN2. Coaches and minibuses are common forms of intercity transport, connecting Bukavu with other towns in the region. Groups arriving by coach should coordinate their drop-off point with us for ease of transfer.
The nearest significant airport is Kavumu Airport, located a short distance north of the city. From the airport, taxis or pre-arranged transport are the usual ways to reach central Bukavu. Within the city, local taxis and motorbike taxis are readily available. Parking for private vehicles is generally found on street or in designated areas, though availability can vary. We will provide specific meeting point details with clear directions upon booking.

Street art and creativity in Bukavu
Bukavu's artistic landscape is evolving, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the region. While perhaps not widely known for large-scale public murals or dedicated street art districts in the same way as some global cities, there is a growing appreciation for visual arts.
Local artists often use various mediums to express social narratives and cultural identity. Exploring some of Bukavu's markets or community spaces might reveal examples of local artistry and creativity. Our workshops aim to contribute to this emerging creative scene, providing an outlet for expression and fostering artistic skills within the community and for visitors.
