Getting to Kigali from Cameroon

As the crow flies, Kigali is about 2,160 km from Yaoundé. Time difference: Yaoundé is one hour behind Kigali.

You can fly direct from Cameroon to Kigali. Douala (DLA) has a non-stop flight to Kigali with RwandAir.

Cameroon has three international airports, including Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport (NSI), Douala International Airport (DLA) and Garoua International Airport (GOU).

Whether you set off from Douala, Bamenda or Bafoussam, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Cameroon

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. Cameroon's memberships include the African Union, the Commonwealth and La Francophonie. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Money and payment

Rates are in US dollars rather than the Central African CFA franc (XAF); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto.

The concierge confirms the total in writing and sends the payment details after your dates are set.

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