Akagera National Park is one of the best birding areas in the world & it is here where Ruzizi Tented Lodge enjoys a spectacular waterside location on Lake Ihema.
Experience
Ruzizi is one of only 3 lodges located within Akagera National Park, allowing guests to have an authentic, unspoiled wilderness experience.
Thanks to great conservation efforts, the park is – once again – home to the Big 5. Akagera is a scenic drive from the capital city, Kigali, offering the perfect opportunity to see savannah animals after a gorilla- or chimp-trekking safari.
Stay
This intimate, eco-friendly retreat offers 7 standard tents as well as a superior treetop tent, which is ideal for either honeymooners or families.
Each tent boasts an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub or outdoor shower as well as a tree-trunk table & hammock on the shaded veranda.
The main area comprises a thatched reception & dining room with wooden walkways leading to a stunning deck overlooking the lake. The central fire pit is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or pre-dinner drinks.
Activities
Ruzizi Tented Lodge offers a variety of exciting activities. Some of these include boating trips, exhilarating game drives, night drives, guided walks, community visits as well as a unique “behind the scenes” tour of the park headquarters.
