Vacation rentals in Nyamasheke

Beautiful location high on a penisula where you can look out over the water and watch the fishermen paddle in and out. It is quiet, and you can sometimes hear the fishermen sing as they paddle. The facility is beautiful, with a lovely outdoor garden-patio which is amazing. The host Andi (who does not live on site) and the on-site co-host were the most helpful AirBnB hosts I have ever encountered. It is a 7 minute walk to the nearest restaraunt (at a lodge), but we typically took a taxi to more distant locations and sites. Our cohost would cheerfully call for a taxi for us in order to communicate accurately in Kinyarwanda. Eggs, fruit, toast with jam, and coffee/tea are provided. Kitchen is nice and cooking full meals is an option. The hosts can happily arrange boat trips either with a local boat operator or using Andi's super-comfortable house boat-both at a very fair price (cash only). Pre-arrival communicaton was outstanding.

Staying in this lovely village with Mama Emilienne was our best and most authentic Rwandan experience, truly local experiences with lovely people of the village. She's the heart of the village and we had a chance to participate in their annual celebration for kids and see their performance and talents. we've been offered great coffee, variety of locally grown fruits and veggies and tasty dishes cooked with local ingredients even rabbit from the village. the village and the villa are both stunning and peaceful, you'll have a bird symphony every morning... Thanks to Inosa, Marta and Cynthia as well for taking good care of us.
