We had the most amazing experience in Bugesera Lodge: thank you so much for the hospitality in every way!
The place is decorated with natural materials all over. Anybody can learn how to offer luxury while avoiding plastic!
We had an easy welcome, full flexibility with arrival and departure times. And above all: a great Rwandian-french dinner. Please don’t forget to visit their shop to buy some home made souvenirs (starting with re usable bags! ) 🥰

Just an amazing place to relax and enjoy nature at only 25-30 min far from Kigali. Unique ambiance that make you feel far away in a splendid resort somewhere in Tanzania. Thank you Jocelyne and Jean Christophe for crafting this wonderful paradise.
