Rwanda Camps & Lodges
Wilderness Bisate Lodge, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
A Lodge or Hotel in Rwanda
Camp Details
An award-winning eco-chic rainforest lodge nestled in a mesmerising volcanic landscape.
Like giant birds’ nests tucked into the trees, the six Forest Villas that make up Wilderness Bisate at Volcanoes National Park are simply breath-taking. And arguably the finest base in Africa from which to trek to see the famous mountain gorillas of the Virungas.
Wilderness Bisate’s six Forest Villas, tucked into a swathe of rehabilitated Virunga Massif cloudforest, are exceptional, inside and out. Perched dramatically on the edge of an eroded volcanic crater at Volcanoes National Park in north-western Rwanda, the lodge has breath-taking views of the brooding Bisate and Karisimbi volcanic peaks, and is within easy driving distance of the park’s headquarters, where daily gorilla treks begin.
WHY CHOOSE WILDERNESS BISATE LODGE?
• The ultimate destination for mountain gorilla encounters.
• Award-winning, sustainable lodge with breath-taking views of six volcanoes, adjacent to Volcanoes National Park.
• The first of its kind in Rwanda, Bisate Kwanda (day lounge) accommodates earlier arrivals and later departures in comfort and style.
