About this stay
Sambora Kinigi is a premier eco-luxury lodge at the foothills of Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. An intimate retreat at the edge of the park, the lodge offers just six exclusive rooms, making it one of the most private and personalised gorilla trekking bases in the region.
Each space uses natural materials and Rwandan design to create warmth and comfort. Beds are soft and welcoming, fires are lit in the evening, and hot water bottles ensure cozy nights after exhilarating treks. Bathrooms are large and stylish with reliable hot water. The main areas include a communal lounge, the main dining room, and a well-stocked bar, with the option to dine al fresco in the jungle-like gardens with views of the Virunga Volcanoes.
All stays include meals, selected drinks, house wines, in-room mini bars, snacks, tea and coffee facilities, laundry service, and a complimentary 45-minute massage. Founded in February 2023, Sambora Kinigi quickly established itself as a sought-after destination for travelers seeking an authentic luxury experience at the doorstep of one of the world's most extraordinary wildlife encounters.
