<p>Arrival in Kigali: Part 2 - Chez Lando </p> <p>When I walked out the airport both the organisation that I am going to be working for UTCCN (Union theicoles de la Crete Congo Nil) and the driver of Chez Lando (my friend Nausicaa’s mom is the owner) were awaiting me. </p> <p>Numerien Nsengumuremyi (UTCCN) & Cyrille Mwumvaneza (local representative of Exchangevzw) brought me as I had previously requested to Anne Marie and Joseph (my friend’s parents) and owners of Chez Lando Hotel in Kigali. Anne Marie Katengwa is such an impressive woman. She is tall, beautiful, kind, classy and a real business woman. I was so happy to see her and she immediately made me feel home. Joseph (my friend’s father and Anne Marie’s husband) is unbelievably friendly, welcoming and heartwarming. </p> <p>Both Anne Marie and Joseph are very highly educated Rwandans. Joseph even speaks Dutch ! That really caught me off guard. He said he hadn’t spoken it in a long time but yet he was fluent! <br> Joseph had lived, travelled and done business all over Europe. He knew every detail about Belgium and studied in Swiss. (@ Nausicaa if you are reading this: your parents are fantastic!) </p> <p>Anne Marie made sure I was at easy showed me the guest room as you can see from the picture above is beautiful. A large beautifully decorated room with view on an amazing garden. I took a picture (see above) of a peacock looking animal but I wasn’t sure what it was… anyone ?? In any case it makes a lot of noise. It sounds like the battery of a dying phone ;) </p> <p>The family, Numerien, Cyrille and I were served delicious food. We all talked for a few hours. (I found out that Cyrille speaks German and studied in Canada.) Another polyglot in the room! Numerien and Cyrille were very happy to have met the owners of Chez Lando through me. I am sure Cyrille will stay in touch with them. I had brought everyone gifts: Godiva chocolates for Numerien and Cyrille, a poncho for Anne Marie and two wines for Joseph (a true wine connoisseur). </p> <p>During our conversation Anne- Marie informed me about her hotel across the street (Chez Lando) of which I had a glimpse. I found out that Chez Lando is so much more than a hotel and everyone should know. </p> <p>Now why should anyone stay in Chez Lando when travelling to Kigali or Rwanda ? Let me give you 4 good reasons: </p> <p>1. It’s a family run hotel in Rwanda by Rwandans. <br> 2.The atmosphere is very welcoming and the owner (Anne Marie) immediately brings everyone at ease. <br> 3. The hotel’s food is amazing and the place is unbelievable clean. <br> 4. Anne Marie supports entire communities trough this hotel. How ? <br> All products used in the restaurant are locally and ecologically produced on their own 3 ha farmland. They have an entire team of people working on this field. Besides growing their own crops they also buy other locally and ecologically grown crops from female cooperatives!! Yes Anne Marie supports many women cooperatives. The products sold in the boutique are also from local farmers with fair trade labels. <br> The 84 bedroom hotel and executive apartment owner employs many people and also provides traineeships. Every year they take multiple interns from the hotel management schools and identify future potential. Many of these students are offered a job upon graduation at Chez Lando. The work atmosphere is fantastic as everyone aims at pleasing the customer while maintaining a familial feeling. </p> <p>I am sure there is so much more to Chez Lando but these are already good reasons to spend your next stay at this resident hotel in Kigali. </p> <p>Hope to see you there! Here is the link to the hotel and support Rwanda entrepreneurship ! </p>
