Reviews
The view from our room was wonderful, and the staff was extremely helpful from the very beginning — from carrying our suitcases to showing us around the property. We had an issue with one of our flight changes, and the staff went above and beyond by helping us contact the airline and secure the necessary approvals so we could leave the park before the allowed driving time and still make our flight on time.
Additionally, I highly recommend the boat tour. We stayed at a safe distance from the animals while still getting to see several of them up close.
Overall, a really solid place to stay. The rooms were very comfortable, especially the beds, and the bathroom and shower were excellent - clean, modern, and just what you want after a long day.
The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay even nicer.
Food-wise, the options were a bit limited, but what we had was decent. One slightly strange thing was the flashing LED light strips in the dining area and outside the hotel. They’re pretty bright and not the most pleasant thing to look at while eating, and honestly we couldn’t really figure out why they were there.
Other than the unexpected light show, it’s a comfortable and pleasant hotel.
Dear Mantis Akagera Game Lodge Team,
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality during my stay. I truly enjoyed the excellent service, warm staff, and beautiful environment. It was a memorable experience, and I look forward to visiting again.
Kind regards,
Fred Uwamungu
Amazing spot with great hospitality - the best I’ve experienced in Rwanda over the years. Sharon and her staff are outstanding (Eric, Martin, Sylvie, and Immaculate to name a few) and took great care of my colleagues and I during a recent retreat at the Mantis Akagera Game Lodge. With stunning sunrise views over Lake Ihema, great pool and gym facilities, and good food and drinks with fantastic service, the Lodge team were accommodating, attentive, and super friendly, making for a good 4-day stay. The Lodge is a great departure point for game drives and activities throughout the park as well. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped with AC, TVs, great showers and consistent hot water, and balconies to relax and enjoy the sounds of the surrounding wildlife. Highly recommend choosing Mantis for your stay in Akagera!
We had a truly wonderful stay at Mantis Akagera Game Lodge. The location is absolutely phenomenal—being situated right inside Akagera National Park makes the wildlife experience immediate and unforgettable. The elevated ridge location offers spectacular, sweeping views, particularly of Lake Ihema and the surrounding savannah at sunrise.
The staff was consistently amazing, attentive, and welcoming, ensuring all our needs were met. The rooms were delightful, spacious, and comfortable, featuring private balconies that offer stunning views.
The dining experience was a highlight. We enjoyed the excellent breakfast and dinner buffets, which offer a large selection of African and international cuisine, with options for vegetarian and other dietary needs. The outdoor dinner and fire pit setting was particularly memorable.
The lodge offers great facilities, including a lovely pool and sun terrace with spectacular views, a bar, and a tennis court. The recent renovations are evident and much appreciated.
Mantis Akagera Game Lodge is the ideal base for a safari in Rwanda. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning.
