The downtown skyline of Kigali, Rwanda, with modern mid-rise towers above the city hills.

From KGL to the city

Kigali International Airport is the main gateway into Rwanda and is close to the city center. The drive to most hotels is commonly short, often in the range of fifteen to thirty minutes depending on traffic and exactly where you are staying. We confirm the expected timing for your arrival.

Whether you land in daylight or the middle of the night, a pre-arranged driver means you are not negotiating a fare while jet-lagged.
