Umutuzo Lodge Kivu Lake

The views, the host

Umutuzo Lodge is the perfect place for a nice gateway in nature, away from the stress of the city. The rooms are nice and clean with an amazing view, the food is very good, the personnel very friendly and Philippe an amazing host. I will for sure come back again in this haven of peace.

Quoi ne pas dire sur Umutuzo Lodge...d'abord et avant tout un endroit rempli de sérénité et de calme comme son nom l'indique "Gutuza" en Kiyanrwanda. Au delà du cadre enchanteur, l'équipe (des humains exceptionnels) nous ont accueilli comme chez nous...Nous nous sentions chez nous!!! Merci pour les petits déjeuners copieux, les dîners (imizuzu, le très bon poisson) etc... En quelques mots, faut y aller et vivre ce moment sur place. Difficile à décrire...faut plutôt le ressentir. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe Umutuzo Lodge. Nakagaruka.

De devoir repartir après 3 petits jours:( On reviendra très vite!

What a truly beautiful place to stay. The views were incredible and so much wildlife to watch from your room. So many different birds in all colours. The staff were really friendly and so helpful. The food was lovely and so tasty. So much food! We took a boat trip to Monkey Island and Napoleon Island - really enjoyed this and our Guide Isaac was great (great promotion Isaac 😂) Thank you for getting us and up and down Napoleon safely and our wonderful photos. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the world go by. Truly relaxing which is what we needed. Thank you to Erik and everyone at the lodge - we enjoyed getting to know you all. Memories we will never forget. Thank you Jackie & Paul

The roads on the lead up to the lodge are not great and with the rain - was a worry. However we had a driver and he managed the roads fine.
