Gorilla Trekking Accommodations: Affordable, Midrange and Luxury


Gorilla Trekking Accommodations: Tracking gorillas in their natural habitat is only possible in three countries worldwide. The places from which you can see endangered gorillas are Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These locations ensure a fantastic safari vacation that you won’t soon forget thanks to ethical and safe interactions, breathtaking forest vistas, and some of the best luxury lodges in East Africa.

Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Accommodations

The most affordable mid-range lodges in Rwanda for gorilla trekking are Volcanoes Virunga Lodge and Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge
Virunga Mountain Lodge and Sabyinyo are two of our favourite mid-range lodges. These are usually our top picks when visiting the Volcanoes National Park area since they offer great food, comfortable lodging, and a few great anomalies and are generally wonderful choices for most travellers. One of the nicest views over Lake Bulera in the entire country may be seen at Virunga. A visit to Sabyinyo, the original safari destination, is sure to leave visitors with happy recollections of the undulating hills of Rwanda. Regardless of your preference, both cost approximately $1,100, so they are not inexpensive, but in our opinion, they are the best choices.

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, located in the foothills of the stunning Virunga volcanoes, offers guests satisfying accommodations in stone cottages or suites with a large sitting area, fireplace, and private veranda. The lodge’s gorgeous mountaintop position is romantic, calm, and serene, making it the ideal place to stay while gorilla tracking. The private rooms come with modern comforts, and the service goes above and beyond with coffee and tea room service in the morning, an all-inclusive meal plan, and truly personalized care.
