Garden!! The setting is idyllic with rabbits & a variety of birds roaming the property. The trees are very tall with fresh mangoes & plenty of shade from the sun. The rooms are neat & tidy without frills - just clean with comfy beds and plenty of room to store our bags. The host, Jean Pierre, has transformed his family home into a unique spot for budget guests to sleep deeply & relax with friends. The guesthouse is near a variety of restaurants with beaches & close to town. Whether walking or taking a moto, it's easy to get around. The host can arrange a taxi, too. We ordered a celebration dinner that was made by a professional chef AND it was delicious!! There's a variety of beverages available - sodas, beers, African Tea, & coffee. Breakfast was simple & tasty, but not included in the Bnb fee. Wi-Fi is super fast, just in case you need to work or post a pic on social media! Very safe & highly recommended for business & pleasure - we used the garden for both!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    It was like a little paradise. The view was amazing, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. We stopped for a small break and to relax in our round trip of Rwanda and it was worth it. We also had some car trouble not far from the lodge and Emmanuel, who works at Inzu Lodge, came right away to our aid.

    The scenery of Inzu Lodge was amazing. It was amazing if you just want to read a book while enjoying the beautiful view, whether sitting in front of your tent or at the restaurant. Also the food at the restaurant was really good.

    Really comfortable lodge at a stunning location: very lush and green gardens and beautiful view over lake Kivu, with the opportunity to swim. Our room was very comfi and had a great view of the lake. Great communicatuon with the reception, host made sure to call us in advance when we were going to arrive in the evening so that dinner could be prepared for us.

    Best price-performanxe ratio during my trip through Rwanda/Uganda. The lodge has a beautiful garden, the room was big and clean and the breakfast was exceptional. The Guesthouse is a 7min stroll from Lake Kivu (takes about 15-20 min to the public beach).

    really beautiful place. Has a lot of character with an incredible garden, and the safari tents are very interesting to stay in. Has an AMAZING view of the lake kivu too, which is pretty special when combined with the garden. Awesome shop with lots of local crafts with proceeds funding projects to help disadvantaged local kids and women in period poverty. Nice open restaurant/bar area, with surprisingly good food and breakfast. Had the nicest shower view I've ever had. Good tours with Koffi, who was a very friendly guide.
