A private villa in Kigali for Car Free Day, when city roads close to cars on Sunday mornings for walking, running and cycling.
On Car Free Day, held on two Sundays a month from 7 am to 10 am, roads in four of Kigali's districts close to cars and open to walkers, runners and cyclists. It is a pleasant way to see the city.
The exact Sundays are announced by the City of Kigali, so the concierge checks them for your dates. Plan your driving around those hours, and come back to a breakfast cooked at the villa; a yoga teacher or a personal trainer can make a morning of it.

Each villa is booked to one group at a time, with a house manager on site and daily housekeeping. A private chef cooks in the villa on request, with a second or third chef for a larger group. The concierge can look for a babysitter on request.
The concierge looks after the rest, including a yoga teacher or a personal trainer, a private chef and a self-drive car, and quotes each item before you confirm. Every arrangement is confirmed in writing before your stay.
Then there is Ikaze, a gated house in Niboye whose living room becomes the Red Room after dark. A house manager is on site, housekeeping is daily and a professional security company watches the house day and night.
Amahoro: a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. A house manager is on site, housekeeping is daily and security is on duty around the clock.
“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
