The stay in brief

Two Kigali villas include the airport pickup in the price of a stay of three nights or more: Amahoro and Urugwiro. It follows your flight from Tanzania, at any hour.

Getting to Kigali

RwandAir flies non-stop from Dar es Salaam (DAR) and Zanzibar (ZNZ), which puts a Kigali villa one flight away from Tanzania.

Landing at night is not a problem: the pickup follows the flight, and the villa is about 20 minutes away.

On the clock, Dodoma is one hour ahead of Kigali, so plan the flight and the first call with the concierge around it.

Citizens of East African Community partner states receive an entry pass free of charge on arrival, for a stay of up to six months.

Price and payment

The villas are priced in US dollars rather than TZS; payment is accepted with MTN MoMo, with Airtel Money, in US dollars (USD), in Rwandan francs (RWF) and in crypto, such as Tether (USDT).

Prices start from $700/night, which is about 1,850,000 TZS. The conversion uses the rate of 20 October 2026 (1 USD = 2,640.08 TZS), so treat it as a guide.

No payment details are published on this website: the concierge sends them once your dates are confirmed.

Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.

Amahoro comes first: a private villa behind its own gate in Kibagabaga, a quiet residential part of Kigali. From Kigali International Airport, Amahoro is about 20 minutes by car. A house manager is on site, housekeeping is daily and security is on duty around the clock. Book three nights or more at Amahoro and The Black Key Arrival, the airport pickup, is part of the stay.

The second address is Urugwiro, a four-bedroom villa on 2,000 m² of gated grounds in Kacyiru, with an infinity pool and an outdoor hot tub. At Urugwiro, a stay of three nights or more includes the airport pickup, The Black Key Arrival. Urugwiro is about 20 minutes by car from Kigali International Airport.
