This was the nicest place I stayed during my weeks in Rwanda, and probably one of the most beautiful gardens with a view I’ve ever experienced. Located about 4 km south of Gisenyi, Inzu Lodge sits on a hill roughly 200 meters above Lake Kivu. From the garden, you get a breathtaking panoramic view over the lake—especially stunning at sunset.On my first day, I didn’t leave the hotel. They offer three different room categories; I tried the bungalow and the cabin, both with private bathrooms. Everything worked perfectly. The service was excellent—Patrick at the front desk does a fantastic job.The internet connection, most likely via Starlink, was reliable throughout my stay. The restaurant serves very good food, fresh and well-prepared. Overall, it’s a well-organized and thoughtfully run lodge.
The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the lake tour. But to be fair, none of the operators I looked into offered anything particularly special in that regard.
