Bisate Lodge is Rwanda’s first luxurious and eco-sensitive safari lodge, adjacent to Volcanoes National Park offers most immersive wild primate experience of Africa. Located in the natural amphitheatre of an eroded volcanic cone, Bisate Lodge combines gorilla treks with a pioneering vision of reforestation and community partnership. Within easy driving distance of the Park Headquarters, gorilla treks depart daily, while nature walks inside Bisate’s property offer birding and participation in the reforestation program. Six amazing en-suite Forest Villas maximise comfort while adhering to environmentally responsible principles. Their architecture and interiors are rooted in Rwandan cultural traditions. All villas are warmed by a central fireplace. The main area comprises a lounge, dining and bar area, wine cellar and a viewing deck overlooking the breathtaking peaks of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes.
The journey starts from Kigali, with its lush hills, flowering trees, winding boulevards and crowded streets: it is one of the most attractive capitals of Africa; you are then immersed in the dense nature that distinguishes this East African country....
Gorilla trekking takes place from Volcanoes National Park headquarters to visit one of the twelve habituated gorilla groups for a one-hour encounter. In addition is possible to visit the Park’s bamboo forest where an endemic coloured primate, called golden monkey lives in groups between 30 to 80 individuals in this area.
