Located in the habitat of Rwanda's rare mountain gorillas, Bisate Eco Lodge is one of the ten most luxurious eco-friendly hotels in the world. The lodge pays homage to Rwandan traditions and culture, offering the perfect combination of modern luxury and authentic heritage. The intimate yet spacious accommodation is provided in six forest villas, all of which offer impressive views of three ancient volcanoes. The beautiful, vaulted bedrooms are richly decorated, while the reception area is lit by a warm fireplace. The highlight of your dream vacation will definitely be the gorilla trekking tours in the national park, which are offered daily.
There's no question that gorilla trekking is the main attraction at Bisate Eco Lodge, but nearby Volcanoes National Park offers even more adventures: golden monkey trekking, the Fossey hike, and climbing Mount Bisoke. Even on the lodge grounds, you can explore numerous nature trails where silverback gorillas have been spotted. Explore the region's countless canals, lakes, and islands by canoe, or search for the rare pink river dolphin in one of the world's largest river archipelagos. Encounters with piranhas, snakes, sloths, and alligators are also quite possible.
The lodge's six magnificent forest villas are designed in classic Rwandan style—with vaulted, thatched roofs—and feature comfortable, contemporary interiors. Designed with the environment in mind, they blend almost imperceptibly into the jungle landscape. Each villa offers majestic panoramic views, a cozy lounge area with armchairs, spacious walk-in showers, a complimentary minibar and coffee machine, organic bath amenities, and discreet butler service.
At the lodge, you can enjoy an all-inclusive stay with homemade meals prepared using the finest local ingredients – many of which come from the lodge's own garden. The meals are perfectly complemented by a glass or two from the well-stocked wine cellar. The bright dining area with sliding doors opens onto the peaceful organic vegetable garden, where you can relax after a long day of gorilla trekking and admire the breathtaking view of the mountains.
Adjacent to Volcanoes National Park, Bisate Eco Lodge is Rwanda's first truly luxurious and equally eco-friendly safari lodge, where the focus is on unforgettable encounters with wild gorillas. Set in the natural amphitheater of an extinct volcanic cone, the Eco Lodge offers spectacular views of the peaks of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes and the surrounding lush green forests. Six opulent forest villas with private bathrooms and spacious interiors offer maximum comfort in addition to the great views.
