Getting to Kigali from Croatia

About 5,489 km separate Zagreb from Kigali, as the crow flies. Zagreb changes its clocks: one hour behind Kigali in January, on the same time as Kigali in July.

From Croatia, fly Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH) to Kigali. Another option: fly Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST).

International airports in Croatia: Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (ZAG), Rijeka Airport (RJK) and Pula Airport (PUY).

Travellers from Split, Rijeka and Zadar can reach the concierge on WhatsApp before they fly.

Entry for citizens of Croatia

Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.

Money and payment

Rates are in US dollars rather than the euro (EUR); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto.

Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.

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