A named contact, not a queue.
Every Royal Path city desk is owned by one person on the ground — long-tenured, multilingual, accountable from briefing to debrief. We publish the role, languages and tenure here; the named contact is assigned the moment your dossier opens.
We do not invent personas or stock photos. The Kigali desk lead steps in by name, on a call, before any booking is confirmed.
Owns Kigali Convention Centre delivery, Volcanoes permits and lodge holds, and East African corridor planning.

FAQs — Kigali
How far in advance must I book gorilla permits?+
6–12 months for peak season. Royal Path holds permit allocation and pairs them with lodge availability.
Is Kigali truly safe at night?+
Among the safest capitals on the continent. We still provide vetted drivers and a concierge line.
Can I combine Kigali with safari?+
Yes — Akagera National Park is two hours away, and Serengeti / Masai Mara extensions are easy via Nairobi.
