Amazing

The service, the location, the cleanliness, all was top top. I loved and enjoyed everything about this place, staffs are so respectful and friendly. At the same time professional. The food was so awesome, you get to be asked about your breakfast preferences a night before. It was just too good and the price are so reasonable in all angles. Definitely recommend the place.

A relaxing place of Nature and simple beauty.

The fantastic view is complimented by the simple but very beautiful design of Ihema lodges. Rooms are comfortable but still everything blends well with Nature. You will see many colourful birds there. We recommend the grilled fish in the restaurant.

Beautiful Lodge with Stunning Views and Warm Hospitality Near Akagera

We had an amazing stay at Lake Ihema Lodges and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Akagera area. The lodge is set in a beautiful, peaceful location overlooking Lake Ihema, offering breathtaking views, especially during sunrise and sunset. It was the perfect spot to unwind after game drives in Akagera National Park, which is only a short drive away. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a lovely natural style that blended perfectly with the surrounding environment. We appreciated the attention to detail, from the comfortable beds to the private balconies where we could sit and enjoy the stunning views. The staff at Lake Ihema Lodges were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. Service was attentive but never intrusive, and we truly felt cared for throughout our stay. The food was a real highlight — fresh, delicious, and well-prepared, with a good variety at each meal. Dining with a view over the lake made every meal even more special. We also loved the peaceful atmosphere at the lodge. It was so relaxing to hear the sounds of nature all around — birds, hippos in the distance, and the occasional rustle of wildlife. It really made us feel connected to the beautiful landscape. It was the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and warm hospitality. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay near Akagera National Park.

Cozy, comfortable, scenic, peaceful, and refreshing.

Spending a night at Lake Ihema Lodge which is perfectly positioned 8km away from the incredible Akagera National Park was a truly refreshing experience. The lodge’s location near Lake Ihema and the park offered stunning views and a peaceful ambiance, perfect for unwinding after a day of safari in the park. The highlight of my stay was definitely the rooms. Spacious, well-designed, and impeccably clean, they provided a perfect balance of comfort and nature. The décor blended seamlessly with the surroundings, and the large windows allowed me to wake up to breathtaking views of the park. Falling asleep to the distant sounds of wildlife made the experience even more magical. Not to mention the breathtaking sunrises you get to wake up to over the expanse of Lake Ihema. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail of my stay was well taken care of. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, served in an open-air setting that enhanced the overall experience. Whether you’re in Akagera for a safari or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Lake Ihema Lodges is a fantastic choice. With its comfortable and scenic accommodation, excellent service, and proximity to nature, it’s a place I’d love to return to.

We had an amazing time at Ihema Lodges! This place far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived until check-out we felt truly looked after. The rooms were clean and comfortable with nice details throughout. Enjoying dinner with a beautiful backdrop of the lake was a highlight in itself. The staff was very helpful and flexible and made preparing for our safari in Akagera National Park a breeze. We already miss the tranquility and calm of Ihema and will be sure to return soon. Big thank you to the staff for creating such a memorable stay!
