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.

The villas

Choose between four houses: two for eight guests, Amahoro and Urugwiro, one for seven, Irebero, and one for four, Ikaze. Several villas can be booked together for a larger group. 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.
