Volcanoes National Park (gorillas)
Stay in Kinigi (closest to the park HQ) or Musanze town (30 minutes away, more budget options).
Akagera National Park
Stay inside the park so you're on the plains at dawn: lakeside lodges, tented camps and campsites.
Nyungwe Forest
Stay near Gisakura or Uwinka for early chimpanzee starts.
Lake Kivu
Rubavu for beaches and convenience, Karongi for scenery.
Kigali
Kiyovu and the city centre for business, Kimihurura for restaurants, near the Kigali Convention Centre for conferences.
