Workation in Huye: the essentials

Huye, still often called by its earlier name Butare and known as Astrida in colonial times, was the country's main administrative centre before Kigali became the capital in 1962. It lies in southern Rwanda and houses a large campus of the University of Rwanda and the national Ethnographic Museum. Kigali International Airport is about 85 km away. Services are modest, and life follows the university calendar.
