How it works

Long-haul flights into Kigali often land early in the morning and leave late at night. Rather than waiting in a lobby, ask for an early check-in or a late check-out when you book, and the concierge confirms what is possible for your dates.

Because each villa is booked to one group at a time, the answer depends on who stays before and after you, which is why it is confirmed in advance rather than promised. Pair it with an airport pickup at any hour and the first and last day of the trip stay calm.

Good to know

For a larger group, several villas can be booked together, and the concierge arranges it. 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

The concierge looks after the rest, including airport pickup at any hour, The Black Key Arrival and daily housekeeping, and quotes each item before you confirm. One message on WhatsApp starts it: your dates, the group and what you have in mind.
