Hand-Built Heritage and Private Sanctuaries
Our eight guest bandas are masterfully crafted. Each reflects the aesthetic traditions of the local Bufimbira people. Furthermore, every room is a masterpiece of ancient culture paired with modern comfort.
For instance, you can relax by your in-room stone fireplace as the mountain chill sets in. We provide thoughtful details like plush robes and a personal butler. Most importantly, every banda faces the brooding volcanoes. This ensures the magic of the Virungas is the first thing you see each morning.
Personalized Service That Spoils the Soul.
The hallmark of the Mount Gahinga Lodge experience is our personal butler service. Our staff members are legendary for their kindness and attention to detail. Consequently, they anticipate your needs before you even ask.
For example, our team will clean your muddy trekking boots after a long hike. They also warm your bed with hot water bottles every night. You will enjoy a morning wake-up call with fresh coffee and treats. This heartfelt hospitality makes every guest feel like royalty.
A Culinary Journey Under the Stars
Dining here is a spectacular event. Our chefs specialize in locally-inspired cuisine using fresh, community-grown vegetables. Because of this, our 3-course meals are consistently delicious and fresh.
In addition to great food, we offer unique dining experiences. You can savor an alfresco BBQ under a canopy of clear stars. Furthermore, your stay includes premium spirits and cellar collection wines. Therefore, your relaxation is just as seamless as your mountain adventures.
The Heart of Adventure and Culture
Our location is truly unparalleled. In fact, we offer a private trail just a short walk from the national park headquarters. This makes us the premier base for tracking the Nyakagezi gorilla family and rare golden monkeys.
Beyond wildlife, we focus on meaningful connections. You can support the Gahinga Batwa Village and learn about forest heritage. Afterward, you should unwind with a treatment at the Gushimisha Spa & Sauna. Ultimately, this lodge is in a league of its own.
