Liguria and Kigali

Liguria lies in Italy, and Genoa, with about 580,000 inhabitants, is its largest city.

Getting to Kigali from Liguria

We measure from Genoa, the largest city of Liguria.

The straight-line distance between Genoa and Kigali is about 5,564 km. Because of daylight saving time, Genoa is one hour behind Kigali in January and on the same time as Kigali in July.

The international airport of Liguria is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA).

From Genoa, most travellers connect through Paris CDG (RwandAir), Brussels (Brussels Airlines) or London Heathrow (RwandAir); your concierge plans the connection.

Entry for citizens of Italy

What counts is the passport: citizens of Italy travelling from Liguria follow the rule that applies to Italy. 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

You will be travelling from the euro (EUR) to a stay quoted in US dollars; payment is accepted in USD, RWF, mobile money or crypto. Once your dates are confirmed, the concierge sends the details; never pay to details found anywhere else.

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

From the airport, the villas are about fifteen to twenty minutes by car, and the pickup is arranged at any hour.
