Akagera Transit Lodge is a community lodge made of a blend of luxury and traditional setting located in the community surrounding Akagera National Park.
We have 13 rooms which are designed for the environmentally conscious, eco-adventure traveller, seeking intimate contact with the unique natural heritage of Akagera National Park and the local community.
We offer community cultural experiences and biking in the community around Akagera National Park. We work close to the community surrounding the lodge through hiring; sourcing of the lodge supplies and it was constructed in a way that does not disturb nature.
“Location was very easy to find. The greeting at the reception was great and the service overall was exceptional! They even got an extra bed in the room for my daughter, ironed the sheets and all. They offered a very early breakfast especially for us according to our trip needs and prepared lunch boxes for all of us, which included - water, fruit and very rich sandwiches. The night we stayed there, they even made fire for us outside and maintained it the whole time we were outside.”
“The rooms were very nice - excellent bathrooms (probably the best shower I had in Rwanda). Staff was friendly and helpful; some spoke more English than others. Food was great! They were very accommodating to special food requests as long as we could make ourselves understood.”

“The service here was exceptional and the food was carefully prepared - we had breakfast and dinner and both were really good. Bonus - one of us forgot our charging adapter in the outlet in our room, and the staff offered to bring it to Kigali and return it to us. Wow! If you're planning on staying here before/after visiting Akegara NP, this lodge is very conveniently located near the Southern entrance. 10/10, would visit again.!”
“Such a great place to stay! The staff was very attentive and even offered the amazing extra service of washing our car after the last day in the park. The rooms are nice and large, with a king size bed and great shower. Also the breakfast was lovely, as are the packed lunch options they offer. Would definitely recommend Akagera Transit Lodge.!”
