Highlights
What We Love
- Cocooning rooms echoing those built for Rwandan royalty
- Camera traps on the grounds to record unusual visitors
- Bisate Kwanda day lounge for guests’ convenience
When To Visit
Peak Season: June to September – long dry season December to February – short dry season
Paths are drier and easier to trek but the gorillas might move further away in search of fresh food
Green Season: October to November – short rains March to April – long rains
The rains make food abundant meaning treks, although muddy, could be shorter as the gorillas aren't on the move as much
Overview
One of the most beautifully designed lodges in Rwanda, Bisate’s stylish rooms echo the chambers traditionally crafted for the country’s royal families. Thatched and rounded, they envelop you in a cosy cocoon that is perfect to return to after a day of gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park.
The vistas reach all the way to active Mount Bisoke and show exactly why Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Although mountain gorillas and golden monkeys are the showstoppers, look out for smaller creatures like the Ruwenzori side-striped chameleon, black-fronted duiker antelope and 13 endemic bird species. And, if your luck is in, Bisate’s private camera traps could pick up a silverback coming to inspect the grounds!
