Volcanoes National Park is 3.3 mi (5.2 km) from central Kinigi, why not stop by during your stay. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, located nearby.
So yes this was 100% a white lotus type experience. That said. The service was impeccable. We went to kinigi for gorilla trekking and Sambora coordinated every detail beyond the permits. They did everything from finding the right outerwear to finding us a great driver. Meals were delicious. We sat every night at a long table with other guests which was fun - we were traveling as a couple so was nice to mix it up. But yes. White lotus. Just be prepared.

The property is well maintained and conveniently located just a short walk from the Musanze bus terminal. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. The food prepared by the guest house cook was excellent! Our only concern was the lack of hot water in the shower, but that may have been due to the fact that we didn't know to plug in the water heater.

Incredibly warm hospitality from the owners and all the staff - breakfast was outstanding, as was all the food overall just phenomenal stay. I was in Kigali for a conference at the KCC, and it was very convenient - short, safe walk. The owners put on a 'cultural evening' on my last night, and it was delightful - it felt authentic, joyful, and with the local staff taking part in the clapping and songs, it was a welcoming, fun evening of Rwanda. I couldn't recommend this hotel more - and will...

Ruhondo Beach Resort is a beautiful place that requires a boat ride to get to. I stayed in an Executive Tent, which had a queen size mattress, light, electrical plug, and WiFi. The lake is a beautiful setting with many water birds, and spectacular views of the volcanoes!

We enjoyed our time! The staff was on top of things. I felt safe in the neighborhood. They helped with taxis and making sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and were extra stocked with what we all needed.

This was a stay of 10 days, so it was important to feel comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and felt welcomed and supported by the kind staff, especially in the dining area each morning and evening.
