My family and I went to Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge for a small staycation, and we couldn’t have been happier. We had been there before and were pleased to see that not only had they renovated, but their impeccable customer care and excellent service remained a staple. Given how cold Kinigi gets at night, the staff ensured that our fireplace was stocked and that we had heaters in our beds. The food was buffet-style with multiple delicious options. Additionally, Le Bambou is just a 3-minute drive from the Dian Fossey Museum, which was convenient for us as we had never been there before. I would recommend Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge anytime, given their commitment to elevating guests' comfort.

Excellent proximity to both Volcanoes National Park and Ellen Degeneres / Dian Fossey Museum. Emmanuel is an amazing trip planning partner and can support with everything from permits to lodging to transport. Room was spacious and comfortable for our needs. Flexible check out time. Staff was very hospitable and accommodating to our vegetarian needs. Highly recommend!

Bambou Gorilla Lodge is well located, close to Kinigi, the Dian Fossey Campus and the Volcano Parc. Our accommodation with Bath room was a quiet hut in the Bambou garden. Special service was a fire in the fire place and hot water bottles in the bed. for nighttime. The garden was nice. The Lodge is being renovated, there was some construction work going in but not disturbing the relaxing atmosphere. The service was very friendly, every team member did best to provide good service: cleaning shoes, offering coffee and ginger tea (excellent!), caring for fire in the fire places which felt like living rooms. The food was very good and there were local dishes on the buffet. We had a very pleasant stay.

This place is outstanding, super helpful, friendly and really happy to please there guest, going over and beyond nothing is a problem. Wish we were coming back to our awesome rooms with Woodfire place in them. Rooms are super big, beds soft cosy and OMG they put hot water bottles in your bed so you don't get cold (love it). Rooms and bathroom have everything you need plus more like a lounge suite. A HIGE THANK YOU to Davies for being so helpful and walking us to Dian Fossey Museum and waiting for us so we knew we were in safe hands. To Emmanuel your a fantastic host, if it wasn't for you we would have known about Dian Fossey Museum, we so appreciate being told and to Evode THE FIRE KING for being so helpful keeping my fire in my room stocked and burning. To the Chef, your food was amazing and to all the other staff, carry on with all the smiles and being so helpful. Without you all this place wouldn't run as well as it does. 5 STARS TO YOU ALL

This place is awesome!! We stayed for 2 nights and wished we could have extended the trip. The resort is so beautiful and the staff are super friendly. They even cleaned our shoes which were dusty after our gorilla trek. The room is super spacious, one of the biggest hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. There was a wood fireplace in our bedroom. Entire property is very clean. Food is delicious! Feels and tastes like home cooked meals. Great location. Steps away from the meeting point for gorilla and monkey tours. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Our two-night stay at Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge in Volcanoes National Park was an exceptional experience, marked by tranquility, comfort, and outstanding service. Here's a detailed review of our stay: Location and Atmosphere Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge is ideally situated close to Volcanoes National Park, nestled in a serene bamboo forest. This quiet location offers a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and proximity to the park's attractions. Room Comfort and Amenities We stayed in a twin room that was exceptionally large and featured its own fireplace, adding a cozy touch to the evenings. The spacious bathroom had a shower with hot water available at all times, ensuring our comfort. Our room was housed in a separate cottage, providing a private and intimate atmosphere. The cottage had its own outdoor seating area with chairs, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the natural surroundings. Dining Experience The dining experience at Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge was a highlight of our stay. Breakfast was cooked to order and served in the restaurant room, ensuring fresh and delicious meals each morning. Dinner was also served in the restaurant room, with a set menu offering a variety of outstanding dishes. The cuisine was truly exceptional, thanks to the chef's remarkable skills. Facilities and Services The lodge's central garden is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful spot to unwind. The lounge, with its welcoming fireplace, became our favorite place to relax. The fireplace was lit whenever we wanted, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. WiFi was available in the restaurant room, lounge, and reception, which was adequate for our needs. Staff and Service The staff at Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge were incredibly welcoming and professional, always eager to assist with any request. Their attentiveness and dedication to guest comfort were evident throughout our stay. One notable service was the evening standdown, where we could choose between having the fireplace lit in our room or using an electric heater. Additionally, the staff placed hot water bottles in our beds, adding an extra layer of comfort on cooler nights. Conclusion Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge provided a memorable and luxurious experience during our visit to Volcanoes National Park. The combination of its tranquil location, spacious and comfortable accommodations, exceptional cuisine, and attentive service made our stay truly outstanding. If you're visiting Volcanoes National Park, Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge is an excellent choice for a comfortable and serene retreat.

During our 2 night stay at Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge, we experienced one of the best customer services in our lives. The staff was great, welcoming and very attentionate. The staff went as far as cleaning our boots from the trip to the National Volcanoes Park. The food was awesome and rich. We were able to taste African dishes just like we wished to. Rooms are cozy and the cottage idea is very good. Beds were warmed with warm water bottles and nights were quiet and sound. I would recommend Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge to anyone looking for a great experience at a great price. Really felt the value of our money. Thank you Emmanuel!!

My partner and I spent 4 nights at Le Bambou as our base while we experienced the incredible Gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking and Volcano Hiking. We were blown away by the attentiveness of Joel and the rest of his team- keeping the fire going for us every night, filling hot water bottles for us to keep the bed warm and spotlessly cleaning our (very!) muddied hiking boots each day in time for our next excursion. The meals were balanced, varied and tasty, always prepared with care 3x a day. We wish you all the best!
