Share your preferred room style, travel dates and onward route so we can arrange the accommodation and safari together.
Find the right retreat
Treehouses and Suites
Accommodation categories offer different layouts and outdoor spaces. Compare the exact room being quoted rather than assuming every stay includes the same features.
Suite Accommodation
Compare suite layouts if extra living space matters to you. Check the number of bedrooms, occupancy and private outdoor facilities before confirming.
Choose by Your Needs
Discuss room access, bed preferences and any special occasion in advance. Private pools belong to selected accommodation categories, not every room.
Make time for the stay
Meals and Unhurried Afternoons
Avoid filling every hour with another excursion. After a forest morning, leave time to return, change and enjoy lunch without rushing into the next activity.
Share dietary requirements before arrival. Confirm included meals, drinks and any special dining arrangements when reviewing your accommodation quote.
Add the experiences you want
A Stay Beyond the Trek
The resort offers guided experiences around its surroundings and connections with local communities. Ask what can be arranged during your dates and how each visit fits your wider plans.
If you want wellness treatments or a special celebration, request the details before travelling. Agree availability, timing and any additional charges in advance.

Gorilla Trekking and Forest Experiences
Reserve the activities most important to you before fixing your lodge nights and onward departure.
Gorilla Trekking
Arrange your Volcanoes National Park permit alongside your stay. Discuss walking ability and transport to the reporting point before travel.
Golden Monkey Tracking
Consider golden monkey tracking on a separate morning. Confirm the activity booking before planning a transfer immediately afterwards.
Guided Local Experiences
Ask about nature walks and cultural experiences that suit your interests. Check the walking involved and allow time to enjoy the visit.
Accommodation and park permits are separate arrangements. Your quotation should identify the resort stay, confirmed activities and transport included in your safari.
Arrive with time to settle in
Transfers from Kigali
Arrange your road journey from Kigali or discuss a charter transfer if that suits your plans. Confirm luggage allowances, collection details and the full transfer cost before booking.
Keep your arrival afternoon flexible. Use it to settle in, prepare your daypack and confirm the following morning’s activity arrangements.
How to Plan Your Nights
As a starting point, allow an arrival afternoon and a full trekking day. Add time for another park activity or a day focused on the resort. Check booking conditions for your dates.
