Lovely location. I enjoyed taking walks on the steep stone-paved sidewalks. In the evening I was able to enjoy two cold beer drinks while talking to friends around a nice fire pit. The open flames added to the relaxation and peace of the well-landscaped gardens.

Incredibly stay! The photos don’t show how beautiful the grounds are. Super recommend the tents and wandering down to the beach clubs in the area for beers and a swim. All of the staff were amazing at helping us organise everything and the food was delicious - special shout out to Brigitte for making our stay extra special, even letting us come into the kitchen so we could learn how to make African tea - we miss you Brigitte!!!

Like- Gisenyi is worthwhile visiting for a few days. Take a boat trip to see the ( small ) fish market and the hot water springs. Good restaurants along the shores. Dislike Waiters coming up to us and telling us we are not allowed to use the water we had wit us. If you want to do business don’t rub our hair up the wrong way!

Gisenyi is a nice small city, not so small for the Rwandans themselves, as it is ranked the 2nd largest after Kigali. its quite and green for all year round. sitting on the shores of lake Kivu, being overlooked by the Nyiragongo, its beauty is unique.
