Welcome to Inyanja Resort

Lakeside Getaway Within Kigali

About Us

At Inyanja Resort, we believe in the quiet magic of simplicity—where spaciousness, stillness, and natural beauty come together to create a truly rejuvenating experience. Nestled on the Gasabo side of Lake Muhazi, our resort offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking a break from the city's fast pace without crossing the administrative boundaries of the City of Kigali.

Whether you’re unwinding in a private jacuzzi, sipping coffee as the morning mist lifts from the lake, or simply listening to the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, you’ll feel time slow down around you.

At Inyanja Resort, we provide a space where guests can pause, reflect, and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with themselves.

How to Get Here

From Kigali, you can reach Inyanja Resort by driving through Ndera and Gikomero for a direct and scenic route within the district of Gasabo. Alternatively, take the Kigali–Gatuna highway and veer off the tarmac at a village known as Cyamutara. From there, continue past the parking lot of Kingfisher Resort and proceed to our dock. This second route offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a short but exhilarating boat ride across Lake Muhazi — a beautiful introduction to the tranquil experience that awaits at your destination.
