Lake Mutanda Resort is a more affordable up-market accommodation than other nearby up-market lodging facilities in the area. Lake Mutanda Resort is only 14 km from Kisoro town. The Resort is located directly on Lake Mutanda in a beautiful setting with on the background the Virunga Volcanoes. You leave your vehicle at the top of the drive and the walk down to the lodge is pretty slippery and steep. It is a cozy and spectacular location with each cabin/tent is situated within 10-15 feet from the lakefront. Apparently the new owners have made improvements compared to how it was originally.
