The hotel well located - just few minutes from the park reception, inside the national park.
There was everything advertised: good room with balcony and view, bottle water, breakfast, pool, gym...
We like our stay here and we are going to visit it once more in future.
There was only one drawback on check out - we paid some additional 'fee' per night that was not previously stated nowhere.

It's clean and tidy, the waiters are very nice, the whole process is very relaxing and comfortable, the environment is very good, the whole place is in the safari park, the scenery is good and very quiet when you rest at night

Loved this hotel. Brilliant for our family of four. Amazing views over the lake. Safari was great - saw rhinos, lions, elephants, hippos on just two game drives, which was enough with two small kids. Also recommend the village walk and the bee-keeping, which also included making banana beer with a local family. Got the sense not many do it - wasn’t cringey or touristy at all and great for the kids. All guides very flexible if we wanted to shorten with the kids. Hotel service was superb. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, making popcorn for the kids one night - attentive but not over the top. Only constructive points are to have the bar available for food till later to have a different option for dinner than the restaurant which is quite formal for kids.

This was a neat lodge nicely tucked away in the Akagera national park. The view from the reception overlooking the pool and the lake was beautiful. The staff were friendly and there was valet parking which was a bonus although the parking lot wasn't far off. The food was nice and comparatively better than the mantis at Nyagatare - I think the chef at Nyagatare could use a refresher course from the chef at Akagera. Everything was mostly okay save the AC in my room which had some technical issues during the night. Otherwise, nice stay.
