Delicious Buffet Experience

The buffet meals at Akagera Game Lodge exceeded my expectations! The variety was impressive, especially the desserts. After a long day of exploring, being able to help myself to a selection of both continental and African cuisine was refreshing and satisfying. The quality of the food was great, making every meal an enjoyable experience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, equipped with a kettle and fridge, which made it feel like home. I really appreciated the welcome milk left for us upon arrival. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to make us feel comfortable. However, the dining options could use some improvement as I found the meals to be on the pricey side for what was offered. Overall, I enjoyed my time here, but there's definitely room for enhancement.
