A private villa in Kigali for Umuganura, Rwanda's harvest day and public holiday on the first Friday of August.
Umuganura is Rwanda's harvest day, a national public holiday on the first Friday of August. It celebrates the harvest and the sharing of food, which makes it a natural moment for families to come together.
A villa suits a holiday built around a meal: a kitchen for everyone to cook in, a garden for the long afternoon and room for the whole family. The concierge can arrange a Rwandan cooking class or a private chef, and several villas can be booked together for a large family.
Umuganura is held on the first Friday of August: 7 August in 2026 and 6 August in 2027.
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.
Ask the concierge for several villas for one family, a private chef and a Rwandan cooking class: each is arranged for a fee quoted before you confirm. The concierge stays in touch before you arrive and during your stay.
