About This Stay
Wilderness Bisate Reserve is an ultra-exclusive forest sanctuary in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, offering an intimate and majestic base for mountain gorilla trekking.
A dramatic volcanic sanctuary perched on a hillside with 360-degree views of the Virunga peaks, designed to honor Rwandan royal heritage through its iconic thatched architecture.
Four expansive villas offer over 200 square meters of luxury, featuring large fireplaces, private decks with wood-fired hot tubs, and dedicated mud-rooms for trekking gear.
The Sanctuary wellness space includes a heated saltwater lap pool, an ice bath, and meditation pods, while a climate-controlled wine tower provides an elegant space to unwind.
Primate encounters are the heart of the experience, from bucket-list gorilla trekking and golden monkey tracking to hiking Mount Bisoke and visiting Dian Fossey’s research site.
"Earth-to-plate" dining showcases seasonal ingredients from the lodge’s gardens, served in the panoramic restaurant or as an intimate in-villa experience.
A fully inclusive stay covers all meals and lodge activities. Guests are invited to contribute to the local ecosystem by planting a native tree as part of the lodge's reforestation project.
