Getting to Kigali from Cambodia

The straight-line distance between Phnom Penh and Kigali is about 8,405 km. Time difference: Phnom Penh is five hours ahead of Kigali.

From Cambodia, most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) or Nairobi (Kenya Airways); your concierge plans the connection.

Among Cambodia's international airports: Techo International Airport (KTI), Sihanouk International Airport (KOS) and Dara Sakor International Airport (DSY).

Whether you set off from Takeo, Siem Reap or Battambang, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Cambodia

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, Cambodia benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Money and payment

You will be travelling from the Cambodian riel (KHR) to a stay quoted in US dollars; payment is accepted in USD, RWF, mobile money or crypto.

Once your dates are confirmed, the concierge sends the details; never pay to details found anywhere else.

Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
