Notes:
It is valid and will greatly depend on your budget. Kubwa Five Safaris can and will help you choose from the list when planning your trip. At whatever level, Kubwa Five Safaris provides the very best for guests. Kubwa Five Safaris reserves the right to substitute equivalent or superior hotels. If a hotel of the equivalent standard is not available, Kubwa Five Safaris may substitute the next best quality hotel or suggest a superior at an extra charge.There is free Wi-Fi in hotels.
Kubwa Five Safaris does not have triple rooms in most of the hotels in Rwanda. Most of the hotels have double rooms (a room with one big bed for two people or a room with two single beds occupied by two people), this means the third person will be left without a room to stay and the alternative would be to occupy the single room (a room with one bed). Single room supplement applies for non-even travelers (three, five, seven, etc.).
