Truly sensational and intimate, a beautiful stay in a beautiful home

Sambora Kinigi is a gem. We were welcomed to the Sambora Lodge by an unbelievably warm and helpful staff who attended to our every need. Our cottage was perfect, with a roaring fire to welcome us after a delicious meal prepared by a talented chef who uses local, fresh ingredients to make wholesome gourmet meals accompanied by a selection of fine wines. The planned activities from which to choose are world class – top of the list is Gorilla trekking, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We had the opportunity to canoe on pristine lakes, visit community groups working with artisans and really experience life in Rwanda’s northern region. The Diane Fossey Campus is literally right around the corner and well worth the visit. We were made to feel at home in this top-notch facility, with our every need catered to – massages in room, fresh local flowers from the luscious gardens, and the best turn-down service ever. But truly the Sambora family made the stay extra special for us.

Without a doubt the best place to stay in the volcanoes area , The staff is unbelievable friendly . They want you to feel at home and they did more than that . When we come in they helped with everything. They fixed our suitcases and makes sure that we have right place to sleep , Nothing made us proud and feel comfortable more than staying to the place owned by a young Rwandan who looks to be impossible to describe how humble and knowledgeable he is , We sat together at evening in front of a small fire they make to make you warm in time the temperature goes down , he taught us how to play the Rwandan local game called Igisoro and it was a magical relaxing game to have in time you looks to be tired somehow , In the morning Michael helped us to organize the Mountain gorilla trekking tour where we were supposed to be at park headquarter at 07 00 am , at 06 00 it was our time to have a breakfast and they made everything on right time and we will always miss the kind of fresh fruits we had on our breakfast , At 06 30 we ended our breakfast and Volcanoes Over View Safaris driver took us to the park headquarter where we meet with the volcanoes national park guide who took us to the gorillas , And visiting gorillas in Rwanda is some of what overlooked and it is wonderful and super amazing ! If you don't like too much shining hotel and want a relaxing place , beautiful landscapes and amazing view Under Volcanoes View can serve you well , Kindly looking forward to coming back to Rwanda and in time we say visit Rwanda , Volcanoes Over View Safaris and Under Volcanoes View Guest House comes to our mind !

Such a beautiful scenery and it fits the setting of the country and the gorilla experience!

I loved that it was a women owned eco resort. No plastic water bottles. The staff was wonderful. Helped me beyond belief getting the tour I really wanted with a great guide. Good food and even an espresso machine!!!
