WHY WE LOVE SINGITA Kataza House
This is modern African homestead living at its finest. Kataza House offers complete privacy alongside the warm hospitality and intuitive service Singita is known for. When you are not exploring Volcanoes National Park, enjoy the villa’s exceptional facilities or spend time in the interactive kitchen as your private chef prepares a Pan-African menu using fresh produce from the nearby Akarabo Nursery and farm-to-table garden.
Insider’s Tip: Gorilla trekking can be physically demanding. A restorative massage back at the villa is one of our favorite ways to ease tired muscles after your trek.
