"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."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kanzenze?
The best area to stay in Kanzenze is around the shores of Lake Kivu, particularly near the town of Rubavu (formerly Gisenyi), which offers a blend of natural beauty and convenient amenities.

Rubavu is the main town on the Rwandan side of Lake Kivu and serves as a popular gateway for exploring the region. It's known for its sandy beaches, clear waters, and a relaxed pace of life. The town centre itself has a number of hotels, restaurants, and local markets, while the lakeside promenade is ideal for strolls and enjoying the views.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, the hotels and lodges dotted along the lakefront just outside Rubavu are an excellent choice. These properties often feature private beach access, stunning lake views, and amenities like spas or boat trips, providing a luxurious and tranquil experience.

Solo travellers who appreciate both convenience and natural beauty will find Rubavu town appealing. It offers easy access to local eateries, a chance to interact with local culture at the markets, and opportunities for activities like kayaking on the lake or exploring the nearby Imbabazi Orphanage and its gardens.
When is the best time to go to Kanzenze?
The best time to visit Kanzenze is during the long dry season, which runs from June to September.

This period typically offers clear, sunny days with comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the local tea plantations or engaging in community visits. The dry conditions ensure that roads and trails are easily accessible, which is particularly helpful for navigating the region.

Families will find this time especially convenient as the pleasant weather allows for uninterrupted enjoyment of the natural surroundings and cultural experiences without the concern of rain disrupting plans. It's also a good time for those interested in photography, as the clear skies provide excellent light.

For travellers looking to combine their visit with gorilla trekking in nearby Volcanoes National Park, the dry season is also preferable.
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 Kanzenze.
How much is the nightly rate at a Kanzenze hotel?
Prices for hotels in Kanzenze often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $27 on Expedia. 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.
