How it works

Kitenge, the bright printed cotton cloth, is made into clothes by tailors in Kigali. On request, the concierge arranges a guide and a driver for a morning of fabric choosing, a tailor's fitting and craft shopping, with the second fitting planned before you leave.

Tell the concierge what you would like made and the date of your flight, so the timing works. The guide, the driver and the fee are confirmed before you confirm; the fabric and the tailoring are paid directly at the shop.

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

Your concierge can arrange a private driver, a Kigali city tour and hair and make-up at the villa, each quoted before you confirm. One message on WhatsApp starts it: your dates, the group and what you have in mind.
