Ruzizi Tented Lodge
Set back from the lake shore, Ruzizi Tented Lodge sits within the little-known Akagera National Park and consists of nine beautiful tents hidden among swaying palms and fruiting fig trees.
Akagera National Park is Rwanda’s equivalent of some of Eastern Africa’s savannah reserves, the low-lying park is nestled in the east of the country on the border with Tanzania. The habitat of undulating plains covered in dense woodland and grassland, leading to swamps, lakes and papyrus forests to the far east contrasts heavily with the mountainous landscapes for which Rwanda is typically known, and those looking to concentrate their itinerary on Rwanda but with some variety may wish to include this in their plans.
