Getting to Kigali from Ukraine

Kyiv and Kigali are about 5,827 km apart in a straight line. The time difference changes with the seasons: in January Kyiv is on the same time as Kigali, in July one hour ahead of Kigali.

From Ukraine, most travellers connect through Brussels (Brussels Airlines), Paris CDG (RwandAir) or London Heathrow (RwandAir); your concierge plans the connection.

Guests travelling from Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipro get the same welcome: a pickup at any hour and the villa ready.

Entry for citizens of Ukraine

Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.

Money and payment

You will be travelling from the Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) to a stay quoted in US dollars; payment is accepted in USD, RWF, mobile 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

From the airport, the villas are about fifteen to twenty minutes by car, and the pickup is arranged at any hour.
