Set in the heart of Rwanda’s mountainous wilderness, Wilderness Bisate Lodge offers six striking forest villas designed to reflect the country’s cultural roots while honoring sustainable principles. Inspired by the traditional royal palaces of Rwanda, each villa features a spherical thatch-and-stone structure with a spacious bedroom, lounge, and bathroom — all warmed by a central fireplace. From your private deck, enjoy sweeping views of Mount Bisoke rising above the treetops.
The lodge’s communal areas — including the elegant dining room, bar, and spa — blend handcrafted Rwandan textures with modern comforts, offering an inviting space to relax after a day of adventure.
Just a short drive from the Volcanoes National Park headquarters, Bisate is perfectly located for daily gorilla treks. Guests can also enjoy guided forest hikes in search of golden monkeys, visit Dian Fossey’s historic research site, join local village walks, or plant a tree as part of the lodge’s reforestation program. For a deeper cultural experience, guests may accompany the chef to a nearby market to help select fresh ingredients for the evening meal.
