Private villas in Kigali for the Mashariki African Film Festival, with a cinema at home between screenings.
The Mashariki African Film Festival brings African cinema to Kigali for a week each year, with screenings, filmmakers and industry guests. For a jury, a filmmaker or a group of cinema lovers, a villa is a good place to talk about the films over dinner.
Amahoro has its own cinema room, the Red Room, and Urugwiro and Ikaze each have a 100-inch screen in the living room. A private driver can take you between screenings, and a private chef can have dinner ready after the last one.
This year it runs from 23 to 29 November 2026.
For a larger group, several villas can be booked together, and the concierge arranges it. An invoice in your company's name is available on request. Short stays only: the villas receive guests for holidays, trips and celebrations.
Ask the concierge for a private driver, restaurant bookings and a private chef: each is arranged for a fee quoted before you confirm. One message on WhatsApp starts it: your dates, the group and what you have in mind.
Then there is Urugwiro, a villa in central Kacyiru whose double-height living room becomes a private cinema at night. A house manager is on the property, housekeeping is daily and a security guard is on duty around the clock.
Irebero: Rebero's villa of wellness: a spa room free to use, a gym, a pool and a rooftop lounge over the city. A house manager is on site and daily housekeeping is included.
“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.”
