Overview
Five Volcanoes is a boutique hotel in Musanze, about 15 minutes by road from Volcanoes National Park headquarters. Its 17 rooms and suites range from Standard and Deluxe rooms to a two-bedroom Family Suite, a Honeymoon Cottage and the three-room Volcano Manor. Full-board meals, gardens, a swimming pool and a sauna provide a comfortable base between treks. The team organises gorilla permits and private road transfers from Kigali. Families have separate-bedroom options and paid babysitting, while couples can choose a cottage with a fireplace and outdoor bathtub.
“A practical choice for couples and families combining gorilla trekking with time to unwind: full-board dining, a pool and sauna, plus room options that give travelling companions their own space.”
