The best area to stay in Ruhashya is generally around the town centre and the immediate surrounding hillsides, offering a balance of convenience and access to natural beauty.


The town centre itself is relatively compact, with local shops and eateries. Hotels here often provide easier access to local transport and amenities. It's a practical base for exploring the wider region.


For those seeking a more tranquil experience with stunning views, the accommodations located in the hillsides overlooking Lake Kivu are ideal. These properties often feature gardens, private balconies, and offer a peaceful retreat from which to enjoy the Rwandan landscape.

The best time to go to Ruhashya is during the long dry season, from June to September.


This period offers pleasant weather with less rainfall and lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the surrounding tea plantations or visiting nearby Lake Kivu. The roads are also in better condition for travel during these months. Couples often find this time of year great for a romantic getaway, enjoying the scenic beauty without the interruption of heavy rains.


Another good option is the short dry season, from December to February. While slightly hotter than the long dry season, it still provides excellent conditions for wildlife viewing and hiking. Families might prefer this period for a holiday, as the consistent dry weather allows for uninterrupted exploration and adventure.
