Sambora Kinigi

Sambora Kinigi

10/10 Excellent
"So yes this was 100% a white lotus type experience. That said. The service was impeccable. We went to kinigi for gorilla trekking and Sambora coordinated every detail beyond the permits. They did everything from finding the right outerwear to finding us a great driver. Meals were delicious. We sat every night at a long table with other guests which was fun - we were traveling as a couple so was nice to mix it up. But yes. White lotus. Just be prepared."

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."
