Getting to Kigali from Yemen

Measured in a straight line, it is about 2,475 km from Sanaa to Kigali. The clock in Sanaa is one hour ahead of Kigali's.

From Yemen, most travellers connect through Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways) or Nairobi (Kenya Airways); your concierge plans the connection.

Yemen has six international airports, including Sanaa International Airport (SAH), Aden International Airport (ADE) and Seiyun Hadhramaut International Airport (GXF).

Whether you set off from Aden, Taiz or Ibb, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Yemen

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. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.

Money and payment

Yemeni rial (YER) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or crypto.

No payment details are published on this website: the concierge sends them once 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.
