Cottages in RuhengeriCottage

What makes Amakoro Songa Lodge exceptional is its staff team. The team are simply outstanding — warm, kind, and completely genuine. We felt cared for in a way that’s rare and very special.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Amakora and we wished it was longer. The grounds are lovely with areas to be alone or meet new people. We also can't say enough good things about the food.

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The hotel is beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. The staff were warm, professional, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile.

​"Sambora KINIGI"
Is an absolute masterpiece. The setup and design are truly next-level, seamlessly blending a deeply calming atmosphere with beautiful, creative touches.

If you’re looking for a place where the view alone is worth the stay, this hotel is absolutely unmatched.

If the views don't amaze you, the lovely staff will. Truly gorgeous place with beyond amazing views from rooms and the bar and restaurant. Worth the trek up the hill to get there.

I had a wonderful time being hosted by Lisa and Andrew at Villa Gorilla. They organised every part of my trip and made sure I got to see and experience all the sights and sounds of Kinigi and Musanze.

Recently, I surprised my fiancé with a birthday trip up to Villa Gorilla for a cooking class with Andrew and Lisa and we had the most fantastic experience!

Great Lodge, wonderful atmosphere, food was well prepared and good selection including at least one local dish. We were very impressed with the service and if we could give more stars we would.

My husband and I stayed here 2 nights in June as a base for visiting the gorillas.
