About this stay
Singita Kataza House is an exclusive-use villa set right on the edge of Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, putting gorilla-trekking experiences within easy reach. The villa's four luxurious suites provide comfortable, reflective, and nurturing spaces in which to appreciate the transformative experience of coming face to face with mountain gorillas.
Designed around local materials including volcanic rock, river stone, handmade ceramic tiles, and oven-red clay bricks made by surrounding communities, Kataza House interprets these influences in a contemporary style with an entirely unique architectural layout. The villa features two heated plunge pools, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and large timber-framed windows that continuously welcome the breathtaking scenery inside.
A private chef, host, and dedicated house staff ensure a personalised stay, catering to every need and preference. The villa includes a fully-equipped fitness centre, a cinema, wine cellar, massage treatment room, interactive kitchen, and convivial fire pit. The onsite Akarabo Garden provides abundant fresh produce for a farm-to-table food journey that celebrates Rwanda's rich culinary heritage.
