The long, narrow waters of lake Muhazi snake through lush vegetation and terraced farms. From the lake shores rise the free-standing, rammed earth structures of UMVA Muhazi, the first of their kind in the region. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat from Kigali, a mid-week remote working destination, or a stop over on your journey to/from Akagera National Park, UMVA Muhazi is the right place. More than just a stop, UMVA Muhazi is a destination centered around the natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and insatiably delicious food.
