Singita Kwitonda Lodge sits lightly on 178 acres of breathtaking land right on the edge of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, a place of exceptional natural beauty where a third of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas live in high-altitude dense cloud forests.

Singita Kwitonda Lodge stands as a benchmark for environmentally conscious hospitality, promising to exceed all expectations of the modern traveler looking for transformative, purpose-driven experiences.

The establishment of Kwitonda Lodge forms part of an ambitious undertaking to rehabilitate, reforest and maintain the biological integrity of the land, thereby expanding the range and increasing the populations of Rwanda’s endangered species, as well as uplifting and empowering surrounding communities in a sustainable manner.

• Highly prized 178-acre pocket of land
• Uninterrupted views of Volcanoes National Park
• Home to the critically endangered mountain gorillas
• Exceptional photographic opportunities
• Opportunity for a Singita-only East African itinerary

• The architects and interior designers are selecting locally sourced and produced materials for walling, ceilings and surface finishing.
• The local community has been engaged in building traditional dry stone walling on-site for specialist areas within the landscape.
• Fundamental to the design is treading lightly on the land and sustainability is at the core of the construction project.

• As the distance of each gorilla trek is varied, depending on which family group guests are allocated, meals and lodge activities are flexible around each trek.

• Besides gorillas, there is much to see and explore, from the Afro montane forests of Nyungwe National Park and primordial Lake Kivu to the vibrant and sophisticated capital city, Kigali.
• Golden monkeys, side-striped jackal, black-fronted duiker, buffalo, elephant and an abundance of bird life.
