"We had such a great time here! Property felt safe and welcoming. Everything was very clean. Beds were comfortable and water was hot for a few minutes. Michael is genuinely the most hospitable person I have ever met on the road. He offered to pick us up from the bus station when we arrived, arranged transportation to and from the national park, and even invited us into his own home for breakfast. He went above and beyond for us and I would go so far as to call him our good friend. Would...

Grotta Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this place. Will definitely be back. I look forward to seeing it again when the outdoor area is finished. Food amazing. Rooms peaceful. The only issue was heavy slamming doors."

Sambora Kinigi

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Sambora Kinigi was truly special and one we will remember for a long time. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed, cared for, and at home. Decoration was beautiful. Every single member of the team was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Traveling with our baby daughter can sometimes require a little extra planning and flexibility, but the team accommodated all of our needs with so much warmth, patience, and genuine care. It made such a difference to be able to relax and enjoy our time knowing that our little family was being looked after so thoughtfully. They also helped us plan our trekking experience, making the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Their local knowledge and willingness to help with every detail made us feel completely taken care of, both at the hotel and while exploring the area. And a very special thank you to Kai, the manager, who was absolutely extraordinary. Her attention, kindness, and genuine desire to make sure everything was perfect truly stood out. She made us feel not just like guests, but like family. We left Sambora Kinigi with beautiful memories and so much appreciation for the people who made our stay so wonderful. We would love to come back and wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful place to anyone visiting the area."

Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, especially if you’re coming to Rwanda for gorilla trekking. The staff were truly outstanding and went above and beyond throughout my entire stay. Everyone was incredibly warm, helpful, flexible, and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. One of the best touches was coming back after a long day of trekking and having them offer to wash my hiking boots, clean my feet, and give me a foot massage. After hours on the mountain, it felt absolutely amazing and was such a thoughtful level of service. This is also a perfect hotel for gorilla trekking. Almost everyone staying there was doing a trek, so the staff completely understand the schedule and what guests need. They can prepare a packed lunch for you to take on longer hikes and make the whole experience incredibly easy. Beautiful hospitality, wonderful staff, and exceptional service. They made my stay feel special, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Volcanoes National Park."

Volcanoes Over View Safaris & Camp

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Volcanoes Over View Safaris and Camp. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. Although Google Maps initially led us to an impassable road, the local community was kind enough to guide us safely to the camp, which we truly appreciated. Once we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious, the showers were hot, and the staff made sure every request was met promptly. We were visiting the area for gorilla trekking and, despite planning our trip months in advance, we had not arranged transportation from the camp to the trekking headquarters or starting point. Michael quickly stepped in and organized everything for us at a very reasonable cost. Our driver was also fantastic—fun, engaging, and added to the overall experience. We highly recommend Volcanoes Over View Safaris and Camp and would gladly stay there again."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shingiro?

The best area to stay in Shingiro is near the main road connecting Musanze and Gisenyi, particularly around the Kinigi sector, as this offers the most convenient access to the Volcanoes National Park.Kinigi is the primary gateway for gorilla trekking and golden monkey tracking. This area is located amongst rolling hills and offers stunning views of the Virunga volcanoes. You'll find a selection of lodges and guesthouses here, ranging from comfortable to luxurious, many designed to blend into the natural surroundings. The main park headquarters, where treks begin, is located in Kinigi, making it incredibly convenient for early morning starts.For adventurous couples looking for an exceptional wildlife experience, staying directly in Kinigi is ideal. You'll be minutes away from the park gate, allowing for a relaxed start to your trekking days. Many lodges offer guided walks in the immediate vicinity, cultural visits to local communities, and opportunities to learn about conservation efforts, all within easy reach of your accommodation.Travellers prioritising a seamless and premium experience will find Kinigi the most practical and rewarding choice.

When is the best time to go to Shingiro?

The best time to visit Shingiro is during the dry seasons, which run from June to September and again from December to February.During these months, you'll experience less rainfall, making it much easier and more comfortable to enjoy outdoor activities like gorilla trekking and exploring the Volcanoes National Park. The trails are less muddy, and the skies are generally clearer, offering better visibility for wildlife spotting and stunning views of the volcanic landscapes. This period is ideal for those looking for an easy adventure with optimal conditions.For those who prefer slightly fewer crowds and don't mind the occasional shower, the shoulder months of March, May, October, and November can also be a good option. While there's a higher chance of rain, you might find more availability for permits and accommodations, and the park remains beautiful with lush vegetation.
