 view from the cottage by Bonobo2005
There's actually not much more to do than relax, swim and have a talk with yuppie NGO-staff or the local rich that spends their weekends here.
Well, you can use the place if you badly need a treat; otherwise I would not recommend it for ordinary travellers. The location however is almost perfect!!!
There are other places to stay in Kibuye. You can always come here for just a lazy afternoon.
A cottage (huge bed) cost $23 but I negotiated $16. Keep also in mind the high additional cost for food! Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: ask motorbike taxi

 Palm Beach on Lake Kivu by Bonobo2005
If you can afford it, you have to stay on the Lakeside, with at least 2 mid range hotels.
The other one is Palm Beach Hotel, more upmarket that has a private beach, canoes, relaxing chairs and windscreens to protect you from too curious eyes.
The rooms are self contained and some have satellite TV and private balconies.
However I took the cheapest room for a night (because I wanted to see Champions League that night) and it's not very good value.
Probably the most expensive offer better value. The restaurant and bar are excellent but very expensive.
Cheapest double room $24, but I bargained down to $12 (low season). Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average

 sunset from Regina Hotel by Bonobo2005
If you can afford it, you have to stay on the Lakeside, with at least 2 mid range hotels.
One of them is Regina, with big and very airy rooms but not s/c.
Around the building are very nice and quiet sittingsarea's. You will be served while relaxing at the lake. However, this stretch has NO sandy beach.
The restaurant is quite good, but service erratic and slow (or maybe I should say: not what were used to in the West ?!).
In my opinion better value than Palm Beach Hotel.
Price single $10, double $14.

 peaceful dawn..view from sur
ile to nord ile by nsbm
They are two tear drop shaped isles ,nord and sur joined by a stone causeway. Nord is where the manger/staff reside with the pier, restaurant and volleyball facilities. sur isle is all yours with a spacious camp, bedding pillow, tables and chairs and nightly campfire at dinner time. Towels,toilet paper and water are provided and a proper clean modern flush-sitdown commode is provide in stalls. Electricty is personally provided by a car battery and hung lite...really cool
No need for showers as the clean health hazrd free warm waters of lake Kive are lapping at your camping site.
I am not an outdoorsy type and being my first at 'camping' this was a real luxury tent experience.
Off the beaten track and definitely worth it....

 Centre Pastoral Notre dame &
helpful staffer by nsbm
It is only a five minute walk to town and on clear days all the Volcanoes can be seen from the terrace balcony & your room windows!
The gorilla ORTPN at Kinigi is One hour away ( but only 13km on poor roads but picturesquely adventurous) by private transport which you can arrange from kigali or the day before in ruhengeri.
The staff are great and food at the restaurant is affordable and scrumptuous..

 rondavels on Lkae Muhazi @
Gahini by nsbm
The location and views are stunning. Lots of water activities including boating, swimming and birdwatching are on offer. The lake is disease and croc free. Just across the water is the Presidents Holiday Home so the company is grand.
The place along with the Gahini guest House is run by the episcopal church.
Accomodation is by camping or in 2-bedroom well equipped rondavels....definitely worth a stop after ANP

 terrific terrace! Hotel Ibis by nsbm
the rooms are double bed apartments very homely rather than hotel style. Large double beds, bathrooms with showers (hot water!) and a seperate sitting day bed area back to a private enclosed patio makes this place good value for money. Its all in african colonial style with heavy wood and color motifs
Location ,location and the terrace restaurant open to main street provides a fantastic theatre of the street. However it initially is restricting as street kids approach the edges and beg but are not allowed to enter the compound so you are safe, but they are not intimidating or pushy. Then once that passes you become the theatre for them! the ambience is nice and locals as well as expats fill the terrrace for dinner and lunch....get there early if you want a table outside Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Main Street ButarePhone: 250 530335Website: campionibis@hotmail.com
