The villas

Choose between four houses: two for eight guests, Amahoro and Urugwiro, one for seven, Irebero, and one for four, Ikaze. Each villa has a house manager on site and daily housekeeping. 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.
