The stay

What to know about this stay.

Wilderness Bisate Lodge sets six conically shaped forest villas at the foot of Rwanda's Virunga volcanoes, each roughly 91 square meters with a central fireplace and private deck facing Mount Bisoke, alongside a more exclusive four-villa sister property, Wilderness Bisate Reserve, with 360-degree volcano views.

Gorilla and golden monkey trekking anchor most stays, and a hike to Dian Fossey's grave adds historical depth for travelers interested in the region's conservation story. Bisate's own nursery and reforestation program is among the most developed of any lodge in the Virunga area, widely regarded as the most luxurious gorilla-trekking base in Africa with 34 international awards since opening in 2017.
