The runway is asphalt but it is very rough with groves. There isn't a fence around the aerodrome and people, especially children, frequently cross the runway and run toward the aircraft wanting either a ride or some money. A fairly nice and clean hotel is across the street from the apron and serves a great buffet meal for a very reasonable price. Butare itself looks like a very clean and interesting town site with a visible Catholic Church influence.
