How it works

A gusaba or an introduction ceremony brings two families together, often with relatives flying in from abroad. A villa gives the family a place to stay together, get ready and receive guests before and after the ceremony.

On request, the concierge arranges the practical side around the day: hair and make-up at the villa, transport for the family, a photographer, a traditional dance performance, meals cooked at home. Each element is quoted before you confirm. Several villas can be booked together for a large family, and Amahoro, Urugwiro and Irebero each have a bedroom without stairs for older relatives.

Good to know

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.

Arranged by your concierge

The concierge looks after the rest, including a traditional dance performance, hair and make-up at the villa and several villas for one family, and quotes each item before you confirm. Every arrangement is confirmed in writing before your stay.

Amahoro is a four-suite villa in Kibagabaga where the evenings move from the pool to the fire pit and on to the cinema. Amahoro sleeps up to eight. A house manager is on site, housekeeping is daily and security is on duty around the clock.
