Getting to Kigali from Manica Province

Figures on this page start from Chimoio, the largest city of Manica Province.

About 1,945 km separate Chimoio from Kigali, as the crow flies. No change of watch: Chimoio is on Kigali time.

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

Entry for citizens of Mozambique

Travelling from Manica Province, you follow the entry rule for citizens of Mozambique. 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 the Commonwealth. 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 Mozambican metical (MZN); 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.
