RUZIZI TENTED LODGE

You will be closely surrounded by wildlife as you stay in one of the tents. Monkeys are frequent visitors. Hippos wade in the waters just a few meters away. The tents are raised to protect from potential incursion from hippos. It’s safe. Location is beautiful with views of the lake and its surroundings. The northern part of the Akagera park (two hours away) is where most of the animals are though. Probably why the Wilderness property there goes for over $2K/night.

Wonderful and helpful staff. They go out of their way to please travelers.

Good is fantastic. Take advantage of the lakeside deck. Apply lots of Deet. :-)

Tents are adequately furnished although by no means luxurious. You are paying for access to the park and not for the quality of the accommodation.

Expect basically zero internet through WiFi. We had none at the tent. 20Mb down near the reception using their employee WiFi.

Very luxurious

Bonito, tranquilo, romántico, buena comida

Ruzizi tented lodges were beyond all our expectations. Our stay was like a dream. Escapist and super comfortable.
You will be amazed by the staff’s service-orientation and kindness. Sunset breakfast is served at the lake (as the other meals) and is of great quality - allowing you to fully enjoy even raw ingredients and dairy products. Lunch boxes prepared with homemade wraps (hummus & chicken one approved ✔️).
You might want to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper - to mute the magical jungle sounds at night.
Only minus is that stays in the North maximize chances on safaris better than those in the South of the park

Great all over! Recommended!
