This Swiss-run guesthouse is the baby of Carlos, who has been tracking gorillas in the national park for decades. His love for the creatures shines through: each room features his gorilla photographs and the corridors are stuffed with local arts and crafts. It's an excellent base for anyone wanting to visit the gorillas with a true expert.
