The Bishop’s House

The Bishop’s House offers families an intimate and luxurious base for exploring Rwanda’s breathtaking Volcanoes National Park. Located just half an hour from the park’s entrance, this colonial-style boutique hotel is set in the tranquil suburbs of Musanze, a vibrant Rwandan town that can be explored on foot or as part of a guided walk.

Its nine spacious rooms, featuring hand-carved four-poster beds and curated Rwandan artwork, are ideal for families seeking a comfortable retreat after an exhilarating day of adventures. Larger suites with private balconies offer sweeping views of the lush gardens—a perfect spot to relax as the sun sets.

The Bishop’s House is the gateway to unforgettable wildlife encounters. Embark on expertly guided treks through the park’s bamboo forests to observe endangered mountain gorillas and playful golden monkeys. For cultural enrichment, families can visit the nearby Iby’iwacu cultural village or explore the historic Musanze Caves to spot their bat colony. Thrill-seekers can ascend Karisimbi Volcano or Mount Bisoke, while quieter moments can be spent at the tranquil twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo.

Back at the hotel, indulge in gourmet dining, with five and six course meals served in the elegant dining room. Families will appreciate the warmth of the roaring fires on cool evenings and the attentive service that ensures every stay feels uniquely special.
