![The most perfect setting in this gorgeous and rustic eco lodge overlooking the Lake Kivu. This lodge respects local traditions and benefits the community. They have safari tents constructed with local materials, solar panels, water harvest, composting toilets and change towels only on request. I did not want to leave, ever! I want to visit again during their monsoon season.

Wonderful

"The setting of the hotel is superb – nice beach (the water has great mineral quality to it), different walks at the door step (Congo-Nile trail or lakeside paths, coffee washing station nearby is great to visit). The food is excellent (from the local vegetable and fruit garden) and rooms are spacious and well-maintained. The downsides are 11 km of dirt track in poor condition (allow extra 10-15 min relative to google maps estimate) and rooms can be too warm at night (24C at night, no aircon) "
