Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries.

The villas, in order for this stay
The pickup is shared by the two, so the rest of the house decides who comes first.
First on this page, 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. Amahoro is about 20 minutes by car from Kigali International Airport.
Also here, Urugwiro, a gated villa in Kacyiru with a duplex principal suite and a second lounge for a quieter corner. Urugwiro is about 20 minutes by car from Kigali International Airport. 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.”
