Notre Dame du Fatima: Ruhengeri Basecamp

As I was part of an overland tour, this place was recommended for us. It turned out to be a wonderful place to stay. They pretty much give free reign over the area, allowing you to pitch tents in the yard, or bunk down in one of their dorms. Both options are extremely cheap, but the beds are very likely superior to the ground. My bunk was more than adequate, the showers nice, though a bit short of hot water, and the small bar/restaurant well serviced and cheap.

Unique Quality: Quiet, feels very safe, as it is has a wall surrounding the place and a security guard.
