Singita Kwitonda, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Singita Kwitonda

Add to wishlist Contact us

Looking out towards the volcanic peaks of Sabyinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura, this stylish lodge is encircled by indigenous forests. Built from a mixture of light woods and volcanic stone, Singita Kwitonda makes the most of these beautiful views, with enormous glass windows featuring throughout the rooms and communal areas. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces keep the chill of the mountain air at bay.

Why we like Singita Kwitonda

This stylish lodge offers far more than a base for gorilla trekking. Thanks to all the guided activities available, longer stays are recommended, just to take advantage of them all.

Facilities

Accommodation consists of just seven one-bedroom suites and one two-bedroom suite. Each of these features a heated outdoor plunge pool, in- and outdoor showers, an in-room massage area and a covered veranda. Inside, the decor is a mix of wood and traditional Rwandan styles, with woven bamboo mats forming an eye-catching ceiling. The lodge also features an informative conservation room, which explains the history of gorilla conservation in the area.

Activities

As well as gorilla trekking, other activities include tours of the lodge’s plant nursery, wine tasting, yoga, cycling, massage treatments, cookery classes, golden monkey trekking, community tours and hikes to Dian Fossey’s grave.
