An Intimate Forest Lodge in the Heartland of Gorilla Trekking Territory

Just 300 metres from the Dian Fossey Campus and minutes from Volcanoes National Park HQ, Sambora Kinigi delivers a highly personal, boutique lodge experience for gorilla trekking and so much more. But it’s more than location: Sambora’s considered service, forested privacy, and warm, family-friendly ethos make it a beautifully well-rounded lodge. Even without the specials, Sambora leads with exceptional value but there are extra reasons it is a true standout.

Top 2026 Specials:
Children Stay for Less: Ages 0–4 stay free; 5–14 pay 50%. Perfect for families looking to explore Rwanda together. There’s soft adventure close by, from easy hikes and canoeing to cultural beadwork and basket weaving. Sambora is an ideal base, with a well-designed family cottage and exclusive-use lodge rates.
Family Support: On-site childminders and creative activities for non-trekking kids. Adults can trek knowing the young ones are engaged and happy, there’s something for everyone.
Great Value Inclusions: A 45-minute massage and one additional activity per day are included, perfect for maximising time in the area and unwinding after a gorilla trek.
Secret Season: Over 6 months of the year qualify for lower rates. What an amazing bonus to be able to offer a premium trekking country like Rwanda at prices that make the trip feasible.
