I can’t wait to come back! Absolutely beautiful! The staff is amazing, especially Chantel. The accommodations were wonderful, the outdoor hot shower, the views from the room, how spacious it was! I can’t say enough good things about this place.

The setting of the lodge is gorgeous, perched on a hill overlooking Lake Ihema. The morning sunrise comes up over the lake. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff is wonderfully welcoming. The food was also great. The lodge is located a short distance from the entrance to Akagera park. We loved our stay.

I can’t stress enough what a beautiful place this lodge is. But not only the location itself with a surreal view on the national park is a highlight. My personal highlight was the staff which is incredibly kind, helpful and patient. Thank you Claire, Chantalle, Gilbert and all the rest of the staff for making this stay so, so pleasant and special.

Wonderful staff, view and bungalow!!!!
Way too short, only 1 night. Very roomy bungalow with great views of the lake. Staff was wonderful and friendly. The only major disadvantage is its location outside of the park. So, you must pay the $100 entry fee a second time when you enter back into the park on Day 2.

Good experience and best value for money in the akagera area. Staff is friendly and helpful, views are breathtaking.
Still very basic considering the high price.
