Commis Chef

SALT of Akagera

SALT of Akagera, Rwanda An eco-luxury safari hotel in Akagera National Park, Rwanda's only Big 5 Reserve for lovers of wildlife, meaningful travel and nature experiences.

Akagera is wild in all the right ways. Vast plains, shimmering lakes, rolling hills, and ancient fig trees. This is Rwanda’s only Big Five national park. But Akagera is more than wildlife. It’s fishermen casting out at dawn. It’s cattle herders moving quietly across the hills. It’s bold flavours, warm welcomes, and a deep respect for nature and people.​ ​

That’s why we created SALT of Akagera.​ ​ 

It is more than a safari lodge. It is a beautiful base from which curious travellers can discover the real Rwanda - slowly, meaningfully, and locally.​
