Getting to Kigali from Iceland

About 8,476 km separate Reykjavík from Kigali, as the crow flies. The clock in Reykjavík is two hours behind Kigali's.

From Iceland, fly Icelandair to Paris (CDG), then RwandAir non-stop to Kigali.

Among Iceland's international airports: Keflavik International Airport (KEF) and Akureyri International Airport (AEY).

Guests travelling from Akureyri get the same welcome: a pickup at any hour and the villa ready.

Entry for citizens of Iceland

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. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.

Money and payment

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

Details are shared by the concierge alone, in writing, once the 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.

Arrival

The Black Key Arrival, airport pickup included, comes with stays of three nights or more at Amahoro and Urugwiro; elsewhere it is quoted first.
