Staying at Amakoro Songa lodge for four nights was a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely attentive and genuinely interested in their work and their guests. We stayed in house no 5 (with a fireplace) and it was very comfortable. The bed was a good size and the linen of very good quality. The cleanliness of the entire lodge was very good. Special mentions to the front of house team of Nina, Patrick, Dan and Claude but this does not mean the rest of the support team don’t deserve a mention. Everyone made our stay feel like we were at home. The meals were tasty and the soups were our favourite. Every evening after dinner the fire was lit in our room which only added to the relaxed ambiance of the lodge. Patrick in particular went out of his way to ensure our PCR tests were conducted in time to see the primates. David in the sales team was great with additional information and don’t rely on google in Musanze to get you to the lodge, ask David for directions. They were very clear and precise. The support team helped us with our gators before our treks and cleaned our very muddy boots after returning. I don’t think my hiking boots have been that clean since I took them out of their box! And then there is the fresh eucalyptus foot bath and rub to look forward to after your trek. Planting our own tree as part of the lodges local conservation programme was deeply meaningful to us as we were on honeymoon. We will definitely be back to see it’s progress. I cannot praise the whole team enough. We will definitely come back to see you all and visit another family of gorillas.
