The villas

Choose between four houses: two for eight guests, Amahoro and Urugwiro, one for seven, Irebero, and one for four, Ikaze. Several villas can be booked together for a larger group. In South Sudan you might call it a holiday home or a furnished villa; in Kigali it is a private villa, booked to your group alone.
