About the venue

The Kigali Convention Centre hosts summits, conferences and gala evenings, and the final stage of the Tour du Rwanda starts and finishes there. During a big conference, a villa gives a delegation what a hotel room cannot: a living room to prepare in, a table for the team and a quiet evening after the last session.

Urugwiro, in Kacyiru, is the closest villa, about five minutes by car, with a dedicated office in a gated compound. Ikaze, in Niboye, is about ten minutes away and Amahoro and Irebero about fifteen. A private driver can be arranged for the whole week, and an invoice in your company's name is available on request.

From each villa, by car

From Urugwiro (Kacyiru), about 5 minutes. Ikaze is about 10 minutes away by car. About 15 minutes from Amahoro, in Kibagabaga. Irebero, Rebero, is about 15 minutes' drive. Off-peak estimates by car; the concierge times the driver to your schedule.

Good to know

Low-key celebrations are welcome at every villa, as long as the neighbourhood is not disturbed. Early check-in and late check-out can be requested around your flights. Your concierge answers on WhatsApp before you arrive and during your stay.

Arranged by your concierge

On request, the concierge arranges a private driver, a meeting table for eight to ten and an invoice in your company's name, with the fee confirmed before anything is booked. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
