Sophisticated estate with an outdoor kitchen, in Kigali

Why an outdoor kitchen

An outdoor kitchen turns a meal into the evening's main event. The three villas that have one pair it with a place to eat outside, so the cook is never shut away from the table.

At Amahoro, in Kibagabaga, the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit close to the fire pit and the pool. At Urugwiro, in Kacyiru, the barbecue and outdoor dining sit in the same gardens as the infinity pool. At Irebero, in Rebero, they sit beside the terrace dining area, on top of two full kitchens indoors, which helps when a larger group cooks together. Bring your own recipes, or ask the concierge for a private chef, who cooks to the group's tastes; for a bigger table a second or third chef joins.

Good to know

For a larger group, several villas can be booked together, and the concierge arranges it. Airport pickup can be arranged at any hour; the villas are about fifteen to twenty minutes from Kigali International Airport. Everything the concierge arranges is quoted before you confirm.

Arranged by your concierge

The concierge looks after the rest, including a private chef, groceries stocked before you arrive and a Rwandan cooking class, and quotes each item before you confirm. One message on WhatsApp starts it: your dates, the group and what you have in mind.
