Gorilla Trekking at Kataza House
Venturing into Rwanda’s misty mountains
to meet East Africa’s mountain gorillas
up close is one of the most cherished
adventures for travellers who are drawn
to the continent’s raw natural beauty.
Amplifying the experience – and set right
on the edge of Volcanoes National Park –
Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House
share a 1.2km border with the Park.
The entire trekking experience is tailored to make the most of every moment – from the pre-trek briefing sessions in the lodge’s Conservation Room the night before, complimentary kit received from the on-site Gear Room, to the morning of the trek.
