Volcanoes National Park Rwanda Africa
LuxuryNature

Singita Kwitonda Lodge is set in a unique location right at the edge of the natural habitat of the mountain gorilla. It's one of the only four territories of the gorilla species in the world. The Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is covered by 160 km2 of rainforest and has an unparalleled sight of the iconic volcanic mountains. It's this breathtaking view that you will be enjoying from one of the lodge's eight luxurious suites. They are all fitted with fireplaces inside and outside on the terraces where you'll find the private heated plunge pool. The large timber-framed windows have cozy seatings all around. The materials used inside are the work of local artisan craftsmanship.

Enjoy the delicious Rwandese cuisine that uses ingredients from the on-site garden. The lodge is built around the feel-good factor, enjoying warm fires, restful spaces, healthy food, yoga, meditation, massages, soft lighting, and warm baths — a safe and relaxing environment amid the African wilderness.

Sustainability at Singita Kwitonda Lodge is not just an empty slogan. They actively support and work on the reforestation project to enlarge the natural habitat of the endangered gorillas. Enjoying high life has never been so ethically correct! The lodge organizes trekking to these protected areas — a soul-shaking experience of being able to get up close with gorillas. Golden monkeys are the other endangered species that can be visited in their natural habitat in the bamboo vegetation of the Virunga mountain ranges.
