Inzu Lodge

The setting is beautiful with great views of the lake. The tents are clean but very basic and cheap. The internet only works at the restaurant, not in the rooms. It is also very annoying that they don't take credit cards, only cash. The road to reach the lodge is very steep and super bumpy, I did it with a 4wd but I wouldn't risk a nice car to go up. Food is good but slow, especially for breakfast if you need an early start. Ask the reception for a tour of the lake in the late afternoon to see the fishermen setting up their nets.

Paradise resort set in a beautiful garden full of flowers and nature. Beautiful views of Lake Kivu. Restaurant is rather simple and WiFi unfortunately does not work on the whole property but only in the restaurant. Friendly staff who go out of their way to make it as pleasant as possible. Be sure to take a boat trip on Lake Kivu and go to the hot springs at Rubavu.

Inzu was a great stop off for us in Gisenyi. The views of the lake from our tent and the grounds were beautiful. The tent was very basic with shared bathrooms, but comfortable and a good deal. The restaurant was very good with a big menu selection for such a small hotel - and they had EVERYTHING on the menu. So often you see a great menu, only to be told much of it is not available. We arranged a local walking tour and a boat ride from the front desk and really enjoyed it. It seemed much more authentic than other tours we have taken. Another surprise was to wake up and find them washing our (filthy!) rental car one morning. What a treat. The final 100 meters to the hotel is a steep and rocky drive, but very manageable.
