From Dolisie to Kigali: boutique private residences

Dolisie and Kigali

Dolisie is a city of about 121,000 people in Niari Department, the Republic of the Congo.

Getting to Kigali from Dolisie

About 1,947 km separate Dolisie from Kigali, as the crow flies. In Dolisie, the time is one hour behind Kigali's.

From Dolisie, most travellers connect through Nairobi (Kenya Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) or Cairo (EgyptAir); your concierge plans the connection.

Entry for citizens of the Republic of the Congo

Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Dolisie, citizens of the Republic of the Congo follow this one. 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. As a member of the African Union and La Francophonie, the Republic of the Congo benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Money and payment

Central African CFA franc (XAF) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or 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.

Arrival

Your concierge books the pickup at Kigali International Airport for your flight, at any hour; it is included from three nights at Amahoro and Urugwiro.
