The event

The Tour du Rwanda is the country's international cycling stage race, held in late February, and Kigali hosts its final day: the last stage starts and finishes at the Kigali Convention Centre. Teams, sponsors and fans who follow the race need a base that can absorb early starts and long days on the road.

Urugwiro, in Kacyiru, is about five minutes by car from the Kigali Convention Centre; Ikaze is about ten. A private chef can cook to a rider's or a team's needs, and a private driver can follow the stages around Kigali.

Dates

2026: from 22 February to 1 March. The 2027 edition has no published dates yet (checked in October 2026).

Good to know

Each villa is booked to one group at a time, with a house manager on site and daily housekeeping. Airport pickup can be arranged at any hour; the villas are about fifteen to twenty minutes from Kigali International Airport. Everything the concierge arranges is quoted before you confirm.

Arranged by your concierge

Ask the concierge for a private driver, event tickets and a private chef: each is arranged for a fee quoted before you confirm. Every arrangement is confirmed in writing before your stay.
