Race Weekend Advice

Booking Tips

Book Early

Race weekend accommodation sells out 12–18 months in advance. Official partner hotels release their race-weekend allocation in early 2029 — sign up to our newsletter to be notified first.

Use the Official Shuttle

A dedicated shuttle network will connect all official partner hotels to the circuit from Thursday through Sunday. Included free with all official partner hotel bookings.

Watch for Packages

Many hotels offer race packages bundling accommodation with grandstand tickets, paddock club access, and airport transfers. These represent the best value and sell out fastest.

Consider the Whole Trip

Rwanda is a destination in its own right. Consider arriving a few days early or staying on after the race to explore Volcanoes National Park, Lake Kivu, and Kigali's cultural scene.
