Entry for citizens of Canada

Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Ontario, citizens of Canada follow this one. 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. Membership: 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

Canadian dollar (CAD) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or 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.

Send the flight number once it is booked, and the pickup follows it, day or night.

The villas

The collection has four villas: Amahoro (Kibagabaga, eight guests), Urugwiro (Kacyiru, eight), Irebero (Rebero, seven) and Ikaze (Kicukiro, four). A private chef, a driver and tours can be added through the concierge. In Canada you might call it a vacation rental or a private estate; in Kigali it is a private villa, booked to your group alone.
