Overview of Kataza House Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park
A private villa nestled at the edge of Volcanoes National Park, Singita Kataza House offers a perfect retreat for trekkers to relax after the transformative experience of encountering mountain gorillas up close.

Crafted with the breathtaking environment in focus, Kataza has engaged local stone masons, weavers, and ceramicists to produce décor and design elements using materials sourced from the land, such as volcanic rock, river stone, and red clay bricks. The outcome showcases a modern aesthetic infused with unique African charm. The striking stone walls rise amidst a vibrant tapestry of mountain bamboo, ferns, giant lobelias, and towering forest trees, which over time will envelop the structures and weave them back into the embrace of the wild.

Kataza offers a cozy retreat for eight guests across its four bedrooms, and with a full staff, including a private chef and host, the villa exudes a welcoming atmosphere that feels just like home. The house’s eco-friendly hospitality promises to delight any contemporary traveller seeking an enriching and meaningful journey.
