Where to stay in Ruhengeri for first-time tourists

Travelers to Ruhengeri have plenty of accommodation options along Ruhengeri-Gisenyi Road, all of which serve as a starting point for tours to the surrounding volcanoes and mountain gorilla sanctuaries. Almost every guesthouse, lodge, and hotel remains budget-friendly: the purpose of Ruhengeri is protecting the endangered animal and plant species, not urbanizing the delicate natural environment. Most visitors recommend booking a room at a hotel on Avenue de la Nutrition if you opt for luxury; when it comes to dining, however, all restaurants have a distinctive charm and charge reasonable prices.
