Mantis Akagera Game Lodge

Nice place to spend the night in the park

The hotel well located - just few minutes from the park reception, inside the national park. There was everything advertised: good room with balcony and view, bottle water, breakfast, pool, gym... We like our stay here and we are going to visit it once more in future. There was only one drawback on check out - we paid some additional 'fee' per night that was not previously stated nowhere.

乾淨整潔，服務員態度很好，全程很放鬆舒適，環境非常好，整體處在野生動物園內，晚上休息景色很好也十分安靜

Ein schöner Aufenthalt während eines Besuchs im Akagera-Nationalpark. Höfliches und aufmerksames Personal und wunderschöne Umgebung. Begrenzte Auswahl an Restaurants, da man sich mitten in einem Wildpark befindet, aber die Preise waren günstiger als in einigen Hotels in Kigali. Der Pool könnte allerdings etwas länger als 18 Uhr geöffnet sein.

Ich muss sagen, dass uns die Lodge in der Nebensaison sehr gut gefallen hat. Unser Zimmer hatte einen spektakulären Blick auf den See, der für wunderschöne Fotos und einen herrlichen Sonnenaufgang sorgte. Die Lodge hat alle Annehmlichkeiten, die wir brauchten, das Zimmer war komfortabel und einladend. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Anlage war für uns ruhig und romantisch. Wir genossen abends einen herrlichen Kaffee am Kamin und lernten auch ein paar coole Gäste kennen. Ich würde definitiv gerne mehr Zeit hier verbringen und die Atmosphäre aufsaugen.

A very nice lodge which was the perfect stay after some tent-nights in the Akagera camp sites. Very nice and clean pool and pool area which the kids enjoyed a lot. Also nice and comfortable rooms and a great breakfast with everything you can wish for.

This was my second visit to Akagera National Park and on the previous one, some 10 years or so ago, I stayed here as the NP opened up. It was 'nationalised, then and the service was as expected rather disorganised and haphazard with staff unaware of their duties and management inefficient. Reminiscent of the old Soviet style. So I was looking forward to see what had changed. Brighter booking system via a chain booker helped and after a false start the booking was as I required. 3 rooms on the balcony floor, first in English, 2nd in 'American'. Strangely and disappointingly there was not the usual concessionary price for East African Citizens which I queried to no avail. Possibly associated with South~African ownership? OH well. we had booked and documentation went well. We arrived to find the building a bit brighter and polished and the reception was excellent and a foretaste of what was to be the norm during our three night stay. Our rooms were together on the same corridor but not adjacent so no grumbles there. They were roomy and comfortable with a nice bed, a balcony with reasonable view to the lake in the valley below, and all modern conveniences. Swimming pool in the spacious grounds and adequate car parking in marked out areas. (This was odd as the 'details on booking said no private parking which had concerned us). Plenty of bars both inside the main building and elsewhere such as the swimming pool. Attentive service at all outlets. Meals such as dinner and breakfast were buffet style although the wait staff would bring dishes such as freshly cooked eggs and pancakes at breakfast to our table. Wine and beer at dinner too. The restaurant was noisy with some ill behaved guests to the discomfort of other diners and the staff offered us special service in another room on the final evening which was nice but why the heck did they just not tell the culprits to behave properly or throw them out which is no less than they deserved? Overall we enjoyed our three night stay and seeing the improvements.

We genuinely loved every moment of our stay here. I cannot express how much the staff made our stay. They were the most attentive / courteous and caring people we have ever met. We loved speaking to them every day, they are a credit to Akagera Game Lodge and really deserve so much recognition. A special thank vou to evervone that was working during our stay, we really wish we got everyone's names as everyone deserves a mention. Gastone in particular was incredible. We were taken care of better than we have been before and we have travelled a lot! The lodge is the most amazing experience, the food is delicious, The scenery and nature that surrounds you is honestly out of this world. We loved every morning waking up here, looking out our balcony to breath taking views, enjoying delicious breakfast's, heading off on our game drive, coming back to enjoy drinks by the pool, enjoying a delicious dinner and finishing our nights by the firepit with a lovely cosy blanket. We are already planning our next visit.
