The villas

From Ikaze's two suites for four guests to Amahoro's and Urugwiro's four bedrooms for eight, each villa is booked to one group. Several villas can be booked together for a larger group. In the United States you might call it a vacation rental or a private estate; in Kigali it is a private villa, booked to your group alone.
