Guests from Samoa stay in Kigali the private way: one house, one group, and a concierge for everything around it.
Measured in a straight line, it is about 17,037 km from Apia to Kigali. In Apia, the time is eleven hours ahead of Kigali's.
From Samoa, most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), London Heathrow (RwandAir) or Brussels (Brussels Airlines); your concierge plans the connection.
The international gateway of Samoa is Faleolo International Airport (APW).
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 Commonwealth, Samoa benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Samoan tala (WST) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or crypto.
The concierge confirms the total in writing and sends the payment details after your dates are set.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
Send the flight number once it is booked, and the pickup follows it, day or night.
