Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel- Budget.

Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel was opened in February 2011 and it has the most beautiful views in the Nyungwe Forest area. Located five minutes’ drive off a main road, up a very rough and steep dirt track, it is set on top of a hill with views across numerous tea plantations, and close to the headquarters of Nyungwe National Park.
The main areas at Nyungwe Top View consist of a large, two-tiered rondavel with a phenomenally high roof. Although a rondavel is usually a traditionally built round house, this building offers a rather more modern take on the theme. The ground floor, where one will find the reception, is sparsely furnished with a few modern angular sofas and walls adorned with traditional Rwandan murals. Circular wicker lights hang from the ceiling and dark tiled stairs lead you up to a mezzanine balcony.
The Lodge‘s dining area is located in the second floor, with tables and chairs set on a rather out-of-place black-tiled floor, and a sweeping veranda with tables and chairs of steel and moulded plastic. The views from here are stunning and on clear days you can even see Lake Kivu and the volcanoes of the Congo beyond. There is also a bar on this level made almost entirely from bottle tops, giving it a bright, very kitsch look: almost Art Deco. It really was a piece of art and probably our favorite part of the hotel.
Glass doors at the front of the rondavel open onto Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel’s beautifully kept lawn. On each side of this is a row of six red-brick cottages. Each of these double or twin cottages houses a small lounge area at the front, with terracotta-tiled floors, a sofa, chair and coffee table, and a fireplace which can be lit for you on cold evenings. Although the furniture is different in every cottage, it is always angular and modern, and not of great quality, so it appears to be wearing quite quickly. The bedrooms are quite sparse, furnished only with a bed and some hanging space for clothes, but they have plenty of space and were spotlessly clean. There are no fans or air con but the team here will put hot-water bottles in your beds on cooler nights.The tiled bathrooms each have a sink, toilet and shower and some also have baths. Towels are provided but toiletries are not. The activities from Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel focus on those carried out at Nyungwe Park. These include trekking out to see the Ruwenzori colobus monkeys, trekking the chimpanzees, birding walks, and – for adventurous travellers – the high canopy walk.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=”modern” color=”black” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Rwanda Safari Tour Options” tab_id=”1552372027552-81b0450c-724f”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”avada-custom-sidebar-rwandasafaritourpackages”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Rwanda Safari Parks” tab_id=”1552372027320-51c2db18-844e”][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”62″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Rwanda Uganda Safari Tour Options” tab_id=”1552372025459-e64b9a8c-20dd”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”avada-custom-sidebar-ugandarwandasafaritouroptions”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Uganda Safari Tour Options” tab_id=”1552372025492-cbf77b38-7a8c”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”avada-custom-sidebar-ugandasafaritourpackages”][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSUyRm1hcHMlMkZkJTJGZW1iZWQlM0ZtaWQlM0QxRm9mYmhETGp1dkIzaDJzQ3ZfekE3RkhwRC1icFpUSW0lMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjEwMCUyNSUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjQ4MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==”][vc_column_text][captainform id=”1266488″]
