Cormoran Lodge

Top choice in Rwanda


Outside of town along a very rough road, this stunner of a lodge melds rock, lake and wood into a truly memorable place to stay. The rooms, which are all free-standing and spaced throughout landscaped grounds tumbling to the lake shore, are like luxurious tree houses on stilts and are built entirely out of logs and beach pebbles.

There's a small manmade beach lined with palms and a top-notch restaurant (mains RFr6500 to RFr8500) serving French-influenced dishes. Activities on offer include kayaking and boat trips.
