Getting to Kigali from Somalia
Kigali lies about 1,756 km from Mogadishu, in a straight line. The clock in Mogadishu is one hour ahead of Kigali's.
From Somalia, fly Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa (ADD) to Kigali.
Aden Adde International Airport (MGQ), Egal International Airport (HGA) and Bender Qassim International Airport (BSA): the international airports of Somalia.
Whether you set off from Borama, Hargeysa or Berbera, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.
Entry for citizens of Somalia
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. Somalia is a member of the African Union. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.
Money and payment
Your home currency is the Somali shilling (SOS); the stay is quoted in US dollars, and USD, RWF, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and crypto are all accepted.
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.
