Hotel Muhabura budget hotel in Volcanoes National Park
Hotel Muhabura is an exemplary budget lodging located near the habitat of the endangered mountain gorillas. It is situated to the north of Kigali in the Musanze province, directly across from the Musanze district offices. If you seek an economical accommodation while observing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, this hotel should be a primary consideration.
Hotel Muhabura is ideally situated, linking various attractions in the Musanze district, including the entrance to Volcanoes National Park, the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo, Musanze Caves, and Musanze Market. The late Dian Fossey spent several nights at Hotel Muhabura when she descended from her gorilla camp, where she also bathed and dined at the hotel’s restaurant.
Dian Fossey, an American primatologist, dedicated the final 30 years of her life to the conservation of mountain gorillas, which were persistently poached by tribes in the Congo and Rwanda within the Virunga Mountains, and resided in room 12 of the hotel. The garden adjacent to room 12 and the tranquility of the hotel are the reasons she chose to stay exclusively at Hotel Muhabura. Guests may occupy the Dian Fossey room for a rate of $90 per night.
The motel consists of 30 rooms, available as double/twin or single occupancy. These accommodations frequently get fully booked, particularly during busy seasons; therefore, it is advisable to reserve several months in advance. The hotel features six large apartments that provide a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation following gorilla trekking or a day trip to Northern Rwanda.
The hotel has external amenities such as a patio, garden, camping area, gift shop, sauna, massage services, conference facilities, lobby, and a restaurant and bar staffed by exceptionally accommodating personnel.
