Mountain Gorilla View Lodge

Rwanda


These 38 rock cottages set in lush, grassy grounds and with impressive views down the volcano range are very large, functional and comfortable, and very well spaced. The attached bar and restaurant occupies an atmospheric thatched building with stone floors. Wi-fi is available at the restaurant only.

A cultural show featuring traditional dancers is held here at 5pm every evening during the high season.
