Singita Kataza House

Overview

A private sanctuary on the edge of the wild

Singita Kataza House is set on the doorstep of Rwanda’s iconic Volcanoes National Park, a sanctuary designed for those seeking seclusion, sophistication, and once-in-a-lifetime gorilla encounters. Surrounded by dramatic volcanic peaks and lush Afro-alpine landscapes, this exclusive-use villa blends cutting-edge architecture with earthy tones and handcrafted details inspired by Rwandan culture.

The villa offers four suites, each with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views, private heated plunge pools, and indoor–outdoor living spaces that celebrate connection to nature. Interiors feature raw materials, volcanic stone, woven textures, and curated artworks, creating an atmosphere of refined authenticity. Dedicated staff, including a private chef and butler, ensure every moment feels effortless.

Life here is immersive and deeply moving: set out on guided gorilla treks in Volcanoes National Park; visit Singita’s community projects; explore farm-to-table gastronomy sourced from the property’s gardens; or unwind with spa treatments and fireside storytelling. Days conclude with sunset drinks on the terrace, fine dining under starlit skies, and silence broken only by the forest.

Sustainability is central to Kataza House’s ethos. As part of Singita’s conservation mission, your stay contributes directly to gorilla protection, community empowerment, and ecological restoration in Rwanda.
