Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel

Rwanda


High on a hill above Gisakura, this efficiently run place has large and finely decorated cottages with panoramic views, excellent bathrooms and a tiny lounge area with fireplace (staff will light the fire for you on cold nights – which means most nights). The dining and reception area occupy an impressive circular building with a tall thatched roof and traditional paintings on the walls.

Even if you won't be sleeping here, stop by for a meal or a drink in the restaurant, which is noted for its lavish buffets (US$15).
