Homestays in Butare

One of my favorite places to stay during my trip to Africa. The atmosphere was just fabulous. Most relaxing and enjoyable leg of my trip. Francoise (the owner) greeted me at the gate as soon as I arrived and made me feel extremely welcome. She cooks amazing food seeing as she puts a bit of a French twist into it. Really made with love. The cabins were clean and cozy. I personally really enjoyed the more grounded showering method, as there is no running water (all the hot & cold water is provided in a very large thermos). Really encompassed more of the rural lifestyle of Rwanda. Francoise made me some tea in the evening and the staff lit a fire throughout the evening. The surrounding village was wonderful and playing some soccer with the children will be a lifelong memory for me. And when it came to check out, I paid a little extra and asked if she could do something special for the kids of the village. She ended up organizing a big dinner for many people of the village and fed them with. Couldn't recommend this place more. Amazing place and amazing people.
