How to get the best deal on a Kigali — Zanzibar City ticket

  • Book your tickets at least 4–8 weeks before departure, as seats for popular dates sell out quickly due to the low flight frequency (~2 per week).
  • Use the low-fare calendar on this page: since flights do not operate daily, departing on a nearby date could be significantly cheaper.
  • When planning your budget, keep in mind that a flight in September can cost AED 1,118, while prices rise to AED 1,271 during holiday periods.
  • Check RwandAir's baggage policy in advance, as fares including a checked bag are often more cost-effective on regional routes than purchasing extra allowance at the airport.
