Inzu Lodge

Top choice in Rwanda


By far the most unusual sleeping option in Gisenyi, this delightful oasis on a sloping hill that lords over majestic Lake Kivu offers comfortably equipped safari tents set on stone platforms with sweeping views. A grassy, partially shady plot is set aside for campers. The wonderfully cosy open-air restaurant serves an eclectic offering of Rwandan and Continental classics. A bonanza for budget-conscious visitors.
