How it works

Some guests prefer to drive themselves: early starts, spontaneous dinners, a weekend away on their own schedule. On request, the concierge arranges a self-drive car hire and has it brought to the villa, with the papers explained at hand-over.

The car, the insurance and the fee are confirmed before you confirm. Every villa has parking behind its gate: gated parking for two cars at Ikaze, secure parking at Irebero, private or on-site parking at Amahoro and Urugwiro. If you would rather not drive, a private driver is the alternative.

Good to know

Each villa is booked to one group at a time, with a house manager on site and daily housekeeping. 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

Your concierge can arrange a private driver, airport pickup at any hour and a Lake Kivu weekend, each quoted before you confirm. One message on WhatsApp starts it: your dates, the group and what you have in mind.
