Kigali, a city of hills

Kigali is Rwanda's capital, spread across green hills, with Kigali International Airport within the city. Our residences are private houses in its quiet residential neighbourhoods, each booked to one group at a time, with a house manager on site and a concierge for everything else.

This Kigali guide helps you choose where to stay and which villa suits your trip, whether you come as a couple, a family or a group of friends.

Questions (FAQ)

How do I book a villa?

Choose a villa and send your dates through the booking form on its page, or message Nkeng on WhatsApp. Nkeng replies with availability and a quote, usually within a few hours. Your stay is confirmed once Nkeng confirms it to you in writing, with the rate and the payment and cancellation terms for your dates.

What are the deposit and payment terms?

No deposit is needed. Nkeng confirms the total in writing before you arrive, and payment can be made on arrival. Bank transfer, card and mobile money are accepted.

How are the rates set?

Each rate is for the whole villa, per night, not per person, and includes all taxes and fees. It depends on the villa, your dates, the length of your stay and any services you add. Rates start from $200 a night. Each villa's page shows its own rate, and Nkeng confirms the total in writing before you arrive.

Can you pick us up at the airport?

Yes, at any hour your flight lands, for a fee, quoted before you confirm. At Amahoro and Urugwiro, airport pickup is included for stays of 3 nights or more (The Black Key Arrival).
