About Wilderness Bisate Lodge
Wilderness Bisate Lodge is an intimate ultra-luxury
safari lodge located beside Rwanda’s Volcanoes National
Park. Set within a dramatic volcanic landscape, the
lodge combines exceptional accommodation with close
access to one of Africa’s most celebrated mountain
gorilla trekking destinations.
Bisate features only six individually positioned
forest villas. Their distinctive rounded architecture
draws inspiration from traditional Rwandan royal
design, while fireplaces, sophisticated interiors and
expansive views create an exceptionally private
mountain retreat.
The lodge overlooks parts of the spectacular Virunga
volcanic landscape including Mount Bisoke, Karisimbi
and Mikeno. Guests can combine their stay with
mountain gorilla trekking, golden monkey trekking,
guided nature walks, birdwatching, conservation
activities and local community experiences.
Bisate is especially notable for its conservation
philosophy. Its reforestation programme allows guests
