Getting to Kigali from Albania
The straight-line distance between Tirana and Kigali is about 4,922 km. Mind the season: Tirana is one hour behind Kigali in January and on the same time as Kigali in July.
From Albania, fly Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST) to Kigali.
Departures from Albania leave from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (TIA).
Guests travelling from Durrës, Vlorë and Elbasan get the same welcome: a pickup at any hour and the villa ready.
Entry for citizens of Albania
As citizens of a member state of the African Union, the Commonwealth or La Francophonie, you receive a visa on arrival and the visa fee is waived for a visit of up to 30 days. As a member of La Francophonie, Albania benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. This summary was checked on 9 October 2026; always confirm on the official immigration page before booking flights.
Money and payment
You will be travelling from the Albanian lek (ALL) to a stay quoted in US dollars; payment is accepted in USD, RWF, mobile money or crypto.
Details are shared by the concierge alone, in writing, once the dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
