"Due to the proximity of this hotel to the current Ebola outbreak we gave advance notice of our need to cancel. Many hotels on Expedia will give 100% of your reservation back for a cancelation. Some have a more restrictive 50% refund policy. This was the only hotel in our travels that had an unfair and unreasonable cancellation policy. We even reached out to the staff but unfortunately they were very unresponsive. I recommend looking for hotels that are customer focused. This hotel is not."

Top Kanama Hotel Reviews

Gorillas Lake Kivu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Umutuzo Lodge Kivu Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lovely. Perched on the hillside, you feel like you’re on top of the world every day at breakfast with panoramic view of Lake Kivu. Our cabin was the closest to the lake which offered us unobstructed views from our patio which was the perfect spot to read or watch an incoming rain storm. It was a bit more of a hike uphill to breakfast and dinner but it was worth it. Plus we were also closer to the pool which was really one of the deciding factors why we picked Umutozo. You also have to take an outdoor shower while you’re there! Food was tasty and very fresh, we said hi to the on-site animals a couple of times. We enjoyed chatting with other guests and the owner Philippe at meal times. The staff was also great including Olivier who took us on our excursion to Napoleon Island and was very engaging to talk to on the boat ride there. I do recommend having a 4wd vehicle since there is a substantial amount of driving on unpaved roads required to reach the property. Very much enjoyed our time spent here."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kanama?

The best area to stay in Kanama is around the Kanama Centre, which is the main hub of activity in the district.

This central area is where you'll find most of the local shops, small eateries, and essential services. It's laid out along the main road that connects different parts of Kanama, making it easy to navigate. While not a bustling city centre, it offers a convenient base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty.

For solo travellers or those on a business trip, staying near the Kanama Centre offers practical advantages. You'll be close to local transport links and have easy access to everyday necessities.

When is the best time to go to Kanama?

The best time to visit Kanama, Western Province, Rwanda, is during the dry seasons, which run from June to September and then again from December to February.

These periods offer the most pleasant weather for exploring, with less rainfall and clearer skies. This makes outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the local tea plantations much more enjoyable. The roads are also in better condition during these months, which is a practical consideration for travel within the region.

For those planning to combine their visit with gorilla trekking in nearby Volcanoes National Park, the dry season is particularly beneficial.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Kanama.

How much is the nightly rate at a Kanama hotel?

All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
