Singita Kataza House

B Corp
Contact us

Surrounded by the imposing Virunga Mountains in Rwanda, Kataza House is an exclusive-use option for a maximum of eight travellers.

Being set right on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, neighbouring its sister Singita Kwitonda Lodge, gorilla-trekking experiences are within easy reach and the villa’s two heated plunge pools, in- and outdoor fireplaces and large timber-framed windows continuously welcome the breath-taking scenery inside, ensuring a guest experience unlike any other.

Why we like Singita Kataza House

Designed using local materials, the property connects the villa to the landscape and its culture, and features wooden walkways which link the suites to the shared facilities at Kwitonda Lodge.

The onsite Akarabo Garden’s abundant fresh produce adds to the appeal, culminating in a nourishing farm-to-table food journey that celebrates the fresh flavours of Rwandese Cuisine. The price of your stay includes accommodation, three meals daily, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, house manager, chef, house staff, and a laundry service.

Sustainability

Every element of the build was carefully researched and considered, from the local bricks and volcanic rock used to build the walls, to the mechanical ventilation system which draws in fresh air to ventilate rather than using carbon-heavy air conditioning. Heat pump and solar water heater hybrid systems provide underfloor heating, domestic hot water and pool heating.
