To all my fellow travellers: don't miss this place. It has just opened, they are still adding new services, and it is already a little wonder: The lodge, which is a little higher than the road, offers and magnificent view and it is placed very near to the entrance of Akagera national park. There is no closest hotel, except for those in the park itself; The rooms, which draw their character from the beautiful wooden style, are incredibly confortable, well designed, with a little terrasse perfect to read in this magic atmosphere; The swimming pool is simple but perfect to relax after the "African massage" of the safari road, with a beautiful view; The restaurant also points to the mountain in front, it has the same wooden style, a nice bar and a view to the kitchen to see the Chef in action; The place is also thought well so that it is serving and benefiting the community around: not only is it ecological and affordable, Akagera Park Inn buys its food from the local farmers, it is building a local shop to promote local crafts, it is working with local guides and massage centers, it aims to make its economic adventure an inclusive one that benefits the community. And of course, I have to mention the team who made everything to ensure that I had a good stay. For example, I received a warm welcome with fresh fruit mocktail and warm towel, they offered a little lunchpack for the safari, were extremely flexible with dinner and breakfast time, and put me in contact with the Ellie, a wonderful young guide who showed me around, took me for a brochette and some banana wine after the safari.

Very beautiful and quiet place The view from the lodge ( and the shower !) and the restaurant isbreathtaking The staff is professional and very supportive and the food is really good Each lodge is new and clean, large, has a big bed, a big bathroom and a terrasse overlooking the AkageraPark. A discreet gem !

Inclusion of Imigongo art work in the decor, pool area looked amazing even though I didn’t get to utilize it. view of Lake Ihema from the lodge.

Amazing responsiveness from the staff

Akagera Rhino Lodge is a great place to stay near Akagera Park—only 15 minutes away by car. The room was very cosy, with an amazing view of the lake! The restaurant is nice, the food is good, and you can also order a picnic to take with you on safari in the park. The staff is really friendly and attentive. There's hot water in the shower, and the Wi-Fi is decent. I 100% recommend this place for its excellent value for money.

Egide was an amazing host. My Cruiser had a serious mechanical issue and even though it was evening he managed to get a local mechanic, stood by and helped with translation, all while juggling other issues, and always with a smile. I had a great sleep and super appreciated the packed breakfast/lunch for the next day in the park!

Everyone was super nice and helpful. In the beginning we had a great tour around the place and had awesome views at the hills around. The children in the village were so interested and followed us around. The food is really awesome and the manager Alex will make sure everything ist to ones satisfaction.
