Wilderness Sabyinyo detail

Situated at the foothills of the mighty Virungas Volcano chain, Wilderness Sabyinyo is tucked away in an incredible forested ecosystem and is the ideal base from which to explore these volcanoes and trek Africa's magnificent mountain gorillas through the forests.

The lodge is only a few minutes away from the entrance to Parc National de Volcans where you can set off on an unforgettable gorilla-trekking expedition and spend up to an hour observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat. You can also go in search of the rare golden monkey or visit the beautiful lakes of Kivo, Burera, Ruhondo and Karago. Alternatively, enjoy hiking nature trails, joining community walks and taking advantage of massage treatments in this beautiful locale.

I loved the freestanding luxury cottages with beautiful views and a lovely big bath to relax in after a day of trekking. The communal areas were inviting with a burning fire to welcome you in. Great food and accommodating staff make this the perfect stop-off for luxury travellers wanting to experience the gorillas.

Rooms

Standard Cottage

The solid, rustic stone buildings are masterfully constructed and beautifully appointed to offer you the most comfortable, yet relaxed, accommodation. Choose between six double cottages, two suites and one family suite.

The double cottages are spacious and welcoming and feature large sitting areas, fireplaces, stylish en suite bathrooms and a dressing room. The large windows offer beautiful views of the surroundings while the sheltered veranda creates a wonderful place to relax in the afternoon. Bathrooms have showers and tubs.

For the more discerning traveller, the two suites offer an elegant retreat with all the features of the cottages but create a more personalised and private experience. The family suite is perfect not only for families but also two couples enjoying a holiday together. It has a second bedroom with en suite bathroom and a large veranda on which to relax and enjoy each other's company.

Facilities

The common areas at Sabyinyo offer you a choice of places to relax after a day in the forest. The library and games room will keep the whole family entertained while the sitting room is the ideal place to relax with a glass of red wine or a steaming cup of coffee.

The bar area offers an extensive range of drinks, spirits and beers and opens out onto a large, spacious deck that is ideal for a social drink while the sun sets.

Dining

Sabyinyo has a restaurant where you will enjoy delicious meals three times a day. When it is warm outside, you can sit on the outside decks, enjoying the scenery. In winter, the indoor restaurant area creates a cosy dining venue, with the fire crackling in the corner. A picnic lunch can also be arranged on request for those who feel like combining their meals with the many excursions available in the area.
