Overview
About Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel
Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel sits on a hill near Nyungwe National Park, with 12 red-brick cottages arranged on sunrise and sunset sides. Double and twin cottages have a lounge, fireplace and balcony, with views across the surrounding hills, forest or Lake Kivu. The circular main building brings together a restaurant, bar and a veranda overlooking the landscape. It is a base for travellers exploring the forest’s primates, walking trails and birdlife, with ticketing and reservation services at the hotel. Kamembe Airport is a 45-minute drive away.
“A good fit for travellers who want a cottage base for exploring Nyungwe, with a fireplace for cool evenings and open views from the hilltop.”
