Rwanda is still very much off the beaten track and it’s important to recognize this when planning a trip here. The range of accommodation is limited, and in some instances the only option is a simple guesthouse.

In places, such as Volcanoes National Park, however, there are several places to choose from, ranging from basic camps to more luxurious lodges. Standards of service and food vary but enthusiasm is much more universal, one of the undoubted charms of the country.
