Getting to Kigali from Papua New Guinea

Measured in a straight line, it is about 12,934 km from Port Moresby to Kigali. Time difference: Port Moresby is eight hours ahead of Kigali.

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

International airports in Papua New Guinea: Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport (POM), Nadzab Tomodachi International Airport (LAE) and Wewak International Airport (WWK).

Starting from Lae or Wewak? Tell the concierge your flight, and the rest is arranged.

Entry for citizens of Papua New Guinea

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. Papua New Guinea belongs to the Commonwealth. 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 Papua New Guinean kina (PGK); 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.
