Travellers Rest Hotel

Travellers Rest Hotel is a historic three-star lodge in Kisoro, famously known as Dian Fossey's "home away from home." The quiet property has a colonial-style atmosphere, with a stone fireplace in the lounge and local crafts decorating the walls. There are about a dozen rooms (single, double or triple), each with private bathroom and a mosquito net. Guests get a free full breakfast and can dine on simple Ugandan and continental dishes at the on-site restaurant and bar. Free Wi-Fi and parking are included. From the veranda you see views of the Virunga volcanoes (the lodge sits on a hillside). Travellers Rest feels low-key and comfortable — not a chain hotel but a neat family-run inn. It offers a warm, relaxing stopover for gorilla trekkers.

This property has been carefully selected by our team for its exceptional standards, unique location, and the quality of the experience it offers. Whether you are looking for an immersive wildlife encounter or a luxurious retreat, Travellers Rest Hotel provides an unforgettable stay.
