Opened in 2012 and designed, built, and wholly operated by Akagera’s own park management (not leased to an external operator), Ruzizi sits on the Lake Ihema shoreline about 6km inside the park’s southern entrance. Nine tents across three categories (seven classic ensuite, one elevated tree-top tent, one family tent) run entirely on solar power, with all profits directed back into park operations and conservation.
