Some info has been automatically translated.
Our place is close to Volcanoes National Park, just on the outskirts of Musanze town about 3 km from the city center. You’ll love our place because of the beautiful views of the volcanoes, American mattresses, and stunning architecture built with local materials. Our two rooms are a part of a detached private bungalow with a bathroom and shower. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

The space
Our bungalow is set next to our family home with a beautiful yard and garden, hammock, terrace, and fire pit, which are all available to our guests. We have a great view of several of the Virunga volcanoes, the home of Rwanda's Mountain Gorillas. Travel time from our house to the park headquarters is about 30 minutes. We can help arrange travel at industry standard prices (currently about $80 a day for truck and driver for gorilla tracking). Please note that we have to very sweet and curious dogs who share our outside space and who love to make friends with our guests. Please do NOT feed the dogs or allow them to enter into the cottage.

Guest access
Our guests are welcome to use our hammock, firepit, and back terrace. On cool nights, we often have a warm fire in our fireplace and great Rwandan coffee available. Breakfasts can be arranged, but we ask that breakfast be requested as soon as possible after booking so we can be sure we have things available—Eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt, and coffee or tea for 6,000 RWF. If you prefer to cook your own meals, you are welcome to use our kitchen. We ask for a 5,000 RWF per day contribution to the cost of cooking gas.

Other things to note
Our house is about two kilometers west of Musanze 600 meters off the main Kigali-Gisenyi road. To reach us, turn left at the "Umurenge wa Kimonyi" (Kimonyi Sector) sign on the left just after passing The Engen Station and then Diva Bar on the right. Our road is a bit rocky, but we've had sedans reach us if they take it slow. A higher-clearance vehicle like a Rav-4 or bigger is even better, but all vehicles can make it. Stay straight past the sector office and keep left until you reach our house. There is a black gate and you can see the only basketball hoop in the neighborhood in our drive.

Where you’ll be

Ruhengeri, Northern Province, Rwanda

Our neighborhood is on the outskirts of the city, so it definitely has a village vibe. We are surrounded by a few traditional Rwandan houses, some new ‘modern’ houses, and amazing views of the surrounding hills and volcanoes. It is a bit of tranquility on the edge of the city.
