You’ll be transferred by charter from the airport to the lodge. Northern Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla View Lodge is just 10 minutes by road from the main entrance of Volcanoes National Park, home to families of magical, and rare, mountain gorillas. Above you towers Mount Karasimbi, the highest volcanic mountain in Virunga massif. The lodge is comfortable, with roomy accommodation (don’t expect glamour), the food is good, the staff are warm and on hand, and the views are simply splendid. The management here is extremely aware of the hotel’s privileged location, and takes every step to protect and support the environment.

Climb Mount Karisimbi, the highest of the eight major volcanoes of the Virungas and straddling the border between the DRC and Rwanda. Visit Dian Fossey’s grave, trek the endangered golden monkeys (there are just two habituated troops with 80 monkeys in total in the park that are available for visiting), or settle back and watch the sunset from the veranda.

You will be chartered to Katara Lodge. Only 20 minutes away from Queen Elizabeth National Park, guests can choose from game drives, boat safaris or forest treks to get their wildlife fix. Back at the ranch, post-safari relaxation is the name of the game with a swimming pool, roll-top baths and several floating hammocks to help you on your way. Add to that some pretty jaw-dropping views from the main area and the bedrooms.

If you can peel yourself out of your hammock, Katara offers a fantastic selection of activities in Queen Elizabeth and the surrounding areas. Traditional game drives offer the chance to see big cats and some of the 100 plus mammals that call the park home whilst boat trips down the Kazinga Channels are a birder’s paradise. Chimp trekking in the Kyambura Gorge is most certainly a highlight and the reason for many a visit here. If you can squeeze it in, visit a local village for a chance to see how these amazing communities live.
