The upcoming Sextantio Rwanda lodge on the Nkomba Islands of Lake Kivu has been named as one of the “most exciting new hotel openings coming in 2022” by luxury travel magazine Conde Naste Traveller.

The Italian-based Sextantio hotel group is known for developing unique properties inspired by the culture, ethnology and natural environment of a place. Expected to open in March, the Sextantio Rwanda, is constructed like a traditional village, using local materials, with a communal style dining table and a traditional open kitchen.
