For many years, Gisakura Guest House has been the only accommodation for Nyungwe Forest. It is very basic with two blocks of rooms, dormitory style with shared bathrooms. However, it's very friendly, there is a cosy dining room and lovely gardens, surrounded by tropical birds and flowers.

The information centre for the forest is in the reception building with a small shop and it's a great social place to speak to the guides and also to wander round the local village of Gisakura.
