Akagera Game Lodge

Located about two and a half hours’ drive north-east of Kigali, Akagera Game Lodge is within the boundaries of Akagera National Park in Rwanda’s Eastern Province. The lodge has an attractive setting on a ridge with views over Lake Ihema. The surrounding area has a wealth of Big Game and other wildlife on the open savannah and in the protected woodland, lakes, swamps and marshland.

The lodge has a great swimming pool – ideal for cooling down in the African sunshine after a morning’s game drive on the game-filled plains. The Shoebill Restaurant has a good buffet service with international cuisine using fresh local ingredients, and the Elephant Bar & Lounge invites guests to relax and enjoy a drink on its picturesque terrace with views out over the Lake.

Akagera Game Lodge has double and single rooms, Executive Suites and (for larger groups) charming individual cottages with patios looking out over Lake Ihema. All rooms are simple and are decorated in a pan-African theme. They feature an en-suite bathroom and a satellite television.

The lodge is one of the very few accommodations in Akagera National Park. It offers great value and very friendly service for those who are looking for a comfortable, yet simple, accommodation and a laid-back ambiance.
