We stayed 3 nights in mid April. First, do not let the rainy season deter you. The rains did come in the late afternoons and the trekking was a little muddy, but I think it is likely the best time to gorilla trek and/or look for the golden monkeys. Everything is lush and green, no crowds and a discounted price. In terms of the lodge, we cannot give enough praise. The lodge itself and the rooms are beautiful and absolutely wonderful. WiFi was available in the main area and in our room. The staff is kind, welcoming and attentive to every detail. All meals were absolutely wonderful. We were surprised by daily massages being included, and they were extremely appreciated after all the walking. Upon our return from daily activities, staff cleaned our hiking boots until they looked better than new. Every afternoon and evening, a blazing fire greeted us in our room and at night, warm water bottles were delivered to keep us cozy. Book without hesitation, you will be delighted with your stay.

The staff were very friendly & willing to assist to make our stay as pleasant as possible. They're quick to respond to requests. The chef in particular would come up with drinks & snacks as we returned from a full day of activities. The rooms were private & the grounds were naturally lush. Keep up the good work!!

You Can't Beat the Service Here
Chris and the entire team at Sambora are the best thing about this property. They are all professional, friendly and attentive. The property is a quaint, gated 4 room lodge within a 15 minute drive of Volcanoes National Park and a 3 minute drive to the Ellen DeGeneres Gorilla Campus. Meals and alcohol are included in the rate. Food portion sizes are huge and the food is excellent. My only recommendation is that the new management company invests in some room upgrades. At this price point, all rooms should have an heater given the property is at altitude in the mountains. The rooms have a fireplace and VERY small A/C in the bathroom, but my room got uncomfortably cold at night which caused me to have to sleep in several layers. The staff went out of their way to provide me with a warm water bottle and relight my fireplace before bed, but the room was still freezing. Otherwise, my room was spacious and I appreciate that they use local bath products that benefit Rwandan children. Thank you for the great stay, Chris and team!
