Entry for citizens of Togo

Entry rules follow your passport, not your city, so the rule for Kara Region is the rule for citizens of Togo.

At home you pay in the West African CFA franc (XOF); in Kigali, the villa is quoted in US dollars and can be paid in USD, RWF, by mobile money or in common cryptocurrencies. 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.
