Rwanda, known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills,” offers a variety of unique and luxurious accommodation options that cater to different tastes and budgets. This was my first ever sub-saharan destination and it surprised me on all levels. Here are some of the best places to stay in Rwanda, highlighting their unique features and locations.

Kigali’s Radisson Blu

It is very conveniently located right next to the iconic Convention Centre and close to all shopping malls and fine dining options. Perfect for 2-3 nights before heading to your Gorilla Safari. Book here or use Trip.com to search for your preferred accomodations.

Eagle View Lodge

Imagine waking up on top of the clouds, as you sleep on Kigali’s highest hill in a boho chic hotel? This was my first ever accomodation in Kigali that I had found on Airbnb, and remains my favourite one to date. Not just in Africa!

Red Rocks Rwanda

Red Rocks Rwanda is a unique cultural and ecotourism hub located in Nyakinama, a picturesque village near Musanze, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park. It offers a blend of cultural immersion, sustainable tourism, and community engagement, making it an exceptional choice for travelers seeking an authentic Rwandan experience. It is great for budget travellers and campers too!
