How it works

The Rwandan franc is the local currency, and US dollars are widely accepted. For markets, tips and small purchases, francs are easier, and the concierge can help you change money during your stay, at a reputable exchange or a bank, with a driver if you need one.

For the villa itself, you can pay in US dollars or Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, or in crypto, and the concierge confirms the total in writing.

Good to know

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.

Arranged by your concierge

Your concierge can arrange an eSIM or SIM card on arrival, airport pickup at any hour and a private driver, each quoted before you confirm. The concierge stays in touch before you arrive and during your stay.
