Gilbert, our Rwandan manager, is an experienced hotelier who has hosted such luminaries as Bill Gates, Jack Nichlaus, Carlos Slim and Jack Hanna; Gilbert and his staff will give the same welcoming service to you. Our niche is the "feel at home service" where you can relax before and after your wildlife trek to see the gorillas. Villa Gorilla is a cozy comfortable home away from home offering experienced and personalized services at an economical price.
Villa Gorilla offers beautiful mountain views of the Volcanoes National Park, famed stronghold of the mountain gorilla and research site of Dian Fossey. In addition to gorilla tracking, you can trek to the summit of Visoke Volcano, where giant plants, moss, and mist combine in an other-worldly Afro-alpine environment. You can also track golden monkeys or walk to Dian Fossey's grave.
A short drive of 20 minutes brings guests directly to the main headquarters of Volcanoes National Park area where you meet up with your gorilla tracking guides or organize all park activities. Our experienced staff is happy to help you arrange a guide for your trek, and in fact one of Villa Gorilla's owners, Allen Bechky, is a world renowned wildlife safari leader and author of Adventuring in East Africa: The Sierra Club Guide. Allen is available for booking, depending on his schedule, to show you the wonders of Virunga. Please email Allen directly @ allen_bechky
