Fodor's Expert Review Villa Gorilla

This Rwandan-owned boutique hotel is a top pick for ape trekkers looking for local flavor without scrimping on comfort. From chilled tomato juice and warm towels on arrival to in-room flower arrangements and responsive staff, Villa Gorilla exudes hospitality. The colorful, flower-filled gardens extend the warm welcome. Bedrooms feature straw-mat floors, carved gorilla figurines, and woven baskets. Views of the volcanoes from the garden patio and boma pit serve as a reminder that this isn't your average weekend escape. Try their unique 7-course trip around the world that features slow-cooked local ingredients with imported artisan delicacies.
