The Best Hotel Near Karera Waterfalls
When travelers dream of Burundi, they often imagine untouched landscapes, welcoming smiles, and moments that stay in the heart forever. In the hills of Rutana, just a stone’s throw from the stunning Karera Waterfalls, there’s a magical place that brings those dreams to life—
Le Perroquet de Mwishanga.
🏡 Where Simplicity Meets Soul
At first glance, Le Perroquet de Mwishanga might seem like just another rural guesthouse in the countryside of Burundi. It sits quietly in a local neighborhood, surrounded by rolling green hills and red earth paths. But the moment you walk through its gate, the world changes.
Inside, the hotel is spotless and peaceful—a clean, natural haven that surprises every visitor. The gardens are well-kept, the rooms are simple yet fresh and comforting, and the air carries the scent of fruit trees and warm soil.
It feels like you’ve entered a secret world. A sanctuary.
A place where time slows down.



🔥 Evenings by the Fire
As the sun begins to dip below the Rutana hills, the staff prepare a small fire for the guests. It’s more than just warmth—it’s a ritual of connection.
Guests gather around the fire to share stories, laughter, and songs. Sometimes locals join in with drums or traditional tales. There’s no Wi-Fi needed here. Just the sounds of the night, crackling flames, and new friendships being made under a sky full of stars.
🍍 Pineapples, Juice & Passion
What makes this place even more special is the man behind it all—the owner of Le Perroquet de Mwishanga. Known for his kindness, laughter, and hospitality, he welcomes every guest like an old friend.
He doesn’t just run a hotel—he runs a pineapple farm, too. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to walk through the fields, see the fruits growing, and sip on the fresh pineapple juice he produces himself. Cold, golden, and naturally sweet—it tastes like Rutana in a glass.
And the food?
Unforgettable. Cooked with local ingredients and heart. It’s one of the best-kept culinary secrets in Burundi.
