The villas, in order for this stay
The pickup is shared by the two, so the rest of the house decides who comes first.
Start with Amahoro, a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. Stays of three nights or more at Amahoro include The Black Key Arrival, the airport pickup. From Kigali International Airport, Amahoro is about 20 minutes by car.
Urugwiro is a gated villa in Kacyiru with a duplex principal suite and a second lounge for a quieter corner. From Kigali International Airport, Urugwiro is about 20 minutes by car. A house manager is on the property, housekeeping is daily and a security guard is on duty around the clock. The Black Key Arrival, the airport pickup, comes with every stay of three nights or more at Urugwiro.
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
“We will be back, that is for sure. Rare to find a property that meets all your requirement but this is a pristine development with a lovely pool.”
