It is absolutely impossible to drive from Bujumbura to Kigali with an avarege speed of 120 km/h. In Rwanda, the police strictly controles the maximum speed in the very densily populated villages, between Rwanda and Burundi the border controle takes hours, if ever you can cross it and in Burundi the roads are rather bad. In addition, the road is full of curves, everywhere people are marching along the road etc. If you manage to travel from Bujumbura to Kigali in 5 to 6 hours, you had a good trip!
