Atsinanana Region lies in Madagascar; Toamasina, with about 345,000 inhabitants, is its largest city.

Getting to Kigali from Atsinanana Region

Figures on this page start from Toamasina, the largest city of Atsinanana Region.

About 2,774 km separate Toamasina from Kigali, as the crow flies. Time difference: Toamasina is one hour ahead of Kigali.

Flights leave Atsinanana Region from Toamasina Ambalamanasy Airport (TMM), its international airport.

From Toamasina, most travellers connect through Nairobi (Kenya Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) or Doha (Qatar Airways); your concierge plans the connection.

Entry for citizens of Madagascar

For visitors setting off from Atsinanana Region, the rule that applies is the one for Madagascar's citizens. 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. Membership: the African Union and La Francophonie. Rules can change: check the official page of Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration before you travel; the online application is on Irembo.

Money and payment

Rates are in US dollars rather than the Malagasy ariary (MGA); 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.
