Property Details

The design of Bisate Logde mimics the rolling hills. The striking rounded villas of this Rwanda luxury gorilla safari lodge are covered in thatch. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and private decks offer beautiful views of the lush mountain gorilla habitat. Each villa at Bisate Lodge has a central area, a bedroom, and en suite bath. Colorful decor accentuates each space. Pops of emerald green sparkle overhead from the chandeliers made of recycled glass. Admire the cultural fabric of Rwanda with textiles that make the villas feel one with the surrounding verdant green jungles.

The lodge offers unparalleled views of the brooding Bisoke, Karisimbi, and Mikeno Volcanoes from its location within its own extinct volcanic cone. In addition to its elevated amenities and unique setting, the main draw for visitors to Bisate Lodge will be its exceptional proximity and access to the neighboring Volcanoes National Park, home of the celebrated mountain gorillas.

Activities at Bisate Lodge

Activities at the lodge generally concentrate on treks up the Virunga Mountains. More than half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas reside in the mountains near the lodge.

Aside from the area’s iconic mountain gorillas, there are many other mammals that call Volcanoes National Park home. These include the side-striped jackal, black-fronted duiker, buffalo, and elephant. Birders will also love the chance to spot one of the 178 varieties that reside here. Another quintessential wildlife activity at Bisate Lodge includes treks to visit one of the park’s many habituated golden monkey troops, striking yet little-known inhabitants of the bamboo forest.

And for those who are in search of something more vigorous, it is also possible to hike up to Dian Fossey’s grave and former research station at Karisoke. Or, rather, spend a full day making your way to the top of one of the three volcanoes nearby.

Bisate Lodge in Rwanda encourages guests to participate in conservation through reforestation and rehabilitation projects. Spend an afternoon in the nursery planting trees or visit the garden. The garden’s vegetables are used to prepare fresh meals served at this Rwanda luxury gorilla safari lodge.
