The event

Liberation Day, Kwibohora, is a national public holiday in Rwanda on 4 July; when it falls on a Sunday, the holiday moves to the Monday. In some years it makes a long weekend.

For a family or friends spending the holiday together, a villa keeps everyone under one roof, with a garden, a pool and a kitchen for shared meals. A private chef can cook for the gathering, and a private driver can take the group around the city. Public events vary from year to year, so check the official programme for the holiday.

Dates

Liberation Day falls on 4 July every year. In 2027, 4 July is a Sunday, so the public holiday is observed on Monday 5 July.

Good to know

Pets are welcome at every villa. 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.

Arranged by your concierge

Your concierge can arrange a private driver, a private chef and several villas for one family, each quoted before you confirm. The concierge stays in touch before you arrive and during your stay.
