Top place & top trip organizer
It is the third time I stop at Umutuzo Lodge. Always an amazing experience made of warm welcoming, marvelous view, Rwandan authenticity, very good meals and perfect comfort. Do not hesitate to ask Philippe ( Umutuzo owner) to organize for you small or big trips in the neighborhood. As an example, he perfectly organized for our family a multi-day complete tour of Rwanda : full satisfaction, competitive rate, transparency, possibilities to interact with him to adapt the program . We absolutely recommend!
Dominique

Umutuzo Lodge and Umutuzo Gendo (for the organization of our tour in Rwanda) were the pearls of our family visit to the Land of a Thousand Hills... Warm welcome, quality services and sense of approach for responsible tourism to meet the populations and the best projects in Rwanda…
Thank you for this total success!
Chantal

What a wonderful trip we had thanks to Philippe, a superb experience!
Thanks again to him and his entire team for their kindness, hospitality and attention throughout our trip.
Thank you also for your patience, because managing 7 Belgians for 15 days, including a wandering ornithologist, was probably not an easy task.
Without forgetting a well done also for the support and help it provides to the local community.
Lodges and tour operator really recommended.
Eric

We had the chance to stay at Umutuzo lodge with family and it was an unforgettable experience! The rooms and the view are magnificent and the welcome from Philippe and his staff was truly exceptional:) A must-visit if you are looking for a little haven of peace on the shores of Lake Kivu!
We were also able to visit the most beautiful places in Rwanda thanks to Philippe and his excellent organization so if you are looking for a tour operator to experience an authentic and soothing trip look no further ;)
Thanks again Philippe and the whole team and I hope to see you next time!".
