" Mountain Gorilla View Lodge"
The day we left it was raining very heavily (lucky we'd been trekking the 2 days prior) and there was some leakage into our bathroom." See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia; 5n in Rwanda

"Great basis for the trekking"
"Gorillas!"
It gets cool at night: 50 degrees F. Get extra wood for your fire. The hot water bottle helps!
Take off a couple of layers before you set out on your trek: it gets warm soon." See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda

"Mountain Gorilla View Lodge review"
The room itself was comfortable and large, with a nice view. It felt very private even though there were other bungalows nearby. It was a little bit of a long walk to the lodge, and when we wanted to ask for more firewood, we had to walk all the way back to the lodge since there is no way of calling the front desk.
We had a very pleasant time. The food was good -- buffet style." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda
