Getting to Kigali from Sardinia
Distances and flights are given from Cagliari, the largest city of the region.
About 5,054 km separate Cagliari from Kigali, as the crow flies. Cagliari changes its clocks: one hour behind Kigali in January, on the same time as Kigali in July.
Departures from Sardinia are served by Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG) and Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB).
From Cagliari, most travellers connect through Paris CDG (RwandAir), Brussels (Brussels Airlines) or London Heathrow (RwandAir); your concierge plans the connection.
Entry for citizens of Italy
Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Sardinia, citizens of Italy follow this one. 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 euro (EUR); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in 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.
