What our viewers are saying

More people are reviewing our cottages, telling their experiences to others who have not visited the twin lakes in Rwanda and stayed at our cottages. 

Amos cooked us breakfast, lunch and dinner at our convenience. He always had fresh ingredients and catered to our every need! With him we have also made a great boat trip across the neighboring lake and he has enlightened us about plants, animals and banana beer.

Gilbert was mainly there in the evenings and took care of our daily campfire. With him we climbed a nearby hill early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise overlooking both lakes and the volcanoes.

All in all we had a wonderful time at Emma’s accommodation and can highly recommend it!

Most likely among the most beautiful camp spots on Lake Rohondo (the world?), surrounded on 3 sides with water and a view onto the Varunga volcanos. Amos, who took care of us during our entire stay, was a fantastic host and cook.

Very nice cottage. I’ve done many lodges at Twin Lakes, and this one has the best view of the Volcanoes. Warm welcome from Emma, ​​who will guide the motorcycles from Musanze to the hotel.
Very good meal, and hearty and delicious breakfast.
The room is spacious and comfortable.
An unforgettable evening by the fire!
