Lodge CotTages

The lodge has 12 fully fledged cottages that are named after gorillas of the nearby Mgahinga National Park. Each cottage sits among an untapped wilderness with luxuriant views of the awe-inspiring sunrise and radiant sunset, and the soundtrack is the surf pounding the sand on lodge’s private beach.

Each cottage is airy and has plenty of space in which to daydream. Inside, the spaces are uncompromisingly new and satisfyingly complex for what is quite a small building. All cottages are set apart for privacy. That is something that many of our guests like. However, what they really love is that the rooms are comfortable, quiet and sorrounded by indigenous tree species that attract bird’s species with sweet songs, inclusive of migratory ones like the African Harrier hawk. At night, you will be given a hot water bottle to warm up your bed. Your health is at the heart of everything we do. That's why the rooms have mosquito nets to protect you from catching malaria.

If you fancy coming out in the moonlight to catch sight of nocturnal birds, brace yourself for a rewarding encounter with the barn owl, a species adored across the continent for being wise and prudent.
