Getting to Kigali from Botswana

As the crow flies, Kigali is about 2,564 km from Gaborone. Gaborone keeps the same time as Kigali.

From Botswana, fly Air Botswana to Johannesburg (JNB), then RwandAir non-stop to Kigali.

Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE), Phillip Gaonwe Matante International Airport (FRW) and Maun International Airport (MUB): the international airports of Botswana.

Guests travelling from Francistown, Maun and Kasane get the same welcome: a pickup at any hour and the villa ready.
