NYUNGWE TOP VIEW HILL HOTEL
Read moreA nice place to relax after a day of exploration in the Nyungwe forest. Situated on top of a hill overlooking a village, this hotel consists of a dozen houses, all with a fireplace and a balcony with a magnificent view of the national park, the tea plantations, and Lake Kivu in the distance. The ensemble is a little dated, but the setting is unbeatable. A simple and uncluttered welcome. Buffet meal in the evening under an impressive traditional-style straw hut.
NYUNGWE NZIZA ECO-LODGE
Read moreLocated east of Nyungwe, this lodge has an exceptional view of the forest and this is its main asset. It offers 2 safari tents, equipped with mattresses, 6 rooms and 6 wooden chalets (with bathroom and fireplace), as well as a camping area. Basic comfort. There is also an "à la carte" mountain lodge style restaurant. The lodge has real potential, but it deserves a lot of improvement. Expansion work is planned for a total of 20 cottages and a second panoramic restaurant.
GISAKURA GUESTHOUSE
Read moreThis guesthouse at the edge of the forest offers 12 rooms in total and a living room with fireplace. Rustic and typically forest. One should not expect great comfort. Let's be honest, the whole place would deserve a little refreshment, the bedding to be renewed, but the whole remains well kept and the welcome pleasant. Possibility to go for a walk in the nearby tea fields (and for free, it must be said). Very good buffet dinner (when the house welcomes more than 5 people, otherwise à la carte menu).
EAR KEN BARHAM GUESTHOUSE
Read moreThis guesthouse, nestled between eucalyptus and tea plantations, just a stone's throw from the forest, offers a pleasant setting, ideal for travelers who don't want to break the bank before exploring the splendid Nyungwe forest. The site has expanded and now has 15 single-story rooms, with en-suite bathrooms (hot water) and Wi-Fi in all units. It is quiet and very clean. Traditional dance performances are offered to guests with the evening meal.
