Reviews
WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT USLocation 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.
We stayed for a night before our visit to Akagera National Park. Super friendly and accommodating staff, really nice rooms, great food and overall a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Really happy with our stay here!
The staff was really friendly, and the accommodation is brand new and well maintained.!
The food was good. The staff was user helpful, very attentive and friendly. The room was quite big, very accessible and safe.
Les repas étaient délicieux et variés. L'accueil a été merveilleux et le personnel très accueillant. Le séjour a répondu à toutes nos attentes.!
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.!
L'emplacement de ce nouveau Lodge est idéalement placé à 1.5km de l'entrée du Parc et à un prix très accessible, le personnel est très attentionné, la cuisine est très propre, bien équipée et les plats très soignés, vous pourrez demander un plat typique locale si vous le souhaitez. Le manager Longin pourra vous organiser votre séjour dans le parc de A à Z (visite, voiture, bateau, jour et nuit et surtout ne pas manquer visite + interaction avec la communauté locale: forgeron, danse, visite plantation, fabrication de bière de banane, et aussi du miel ), n'hésitez pas à le contacter ! moustiquaire au dessus du lit, silence, terrasse avec vue sur la colline d'en face ou la vie nocturne s'installe doucement ...!
