African Safari Expert
Conveniently located within walking distance of the gorilla trekking departure point this luxury lodge offer tents located within the forest along with plenty of extras like a curio shop and spa. I loved my evening out on the lawn, fire on the go, overlooking the forested mountains, enjoying snacks and listening to songs performed by one of the village's local musicians.
