A Gateway to Gorilla Country
Perched on the edge of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park—home to over a third of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas—Singita Kwitonda Lodge offers an extraordinary base for life-changing gorilla trekking experiences. With unmatched proximity to the park, guests are immersed in one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring natural environments.
Suites Immersed in Nature
Each of the eleven luxurious suites is designed to harmonize with the landscape and offer maximum comfort. Features include a private heated plunge pool, wellness treatment area, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and expansive timber-framed windows that open up to panoramic views of the surrounding volcanoes and misty forest.
Crafted with Local Soul
The lodge’s design reflects a deep connection to its surroundings, incorporating locally made woven ceilings, hand-fired terracotta bricks, and materials sourced from the region. Singita Kwitonda was built with sustainability and community involvement at its core, creating a sense of place that’s as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
A Living Commitment to Conservation
A dedicated Conservation Room offers insight into Singita’s efforts to protect and preserve the region’s biodiversity. Guests are invited to explore the on-site nursery and vegetable garden, which provides fresh ingredients for the lodge’s farm-to-table cuisine and further reinforces its conservation-first ethos.
A Place of Reflection and Reverence
Whether returning from a trek through the misty rainforest or simply taking in the silence of the highlands, guests find in Kwitonda a rare sense of stillness and connection. It’s more than a luxurious lodge—it’s a sanctuary for contemplation, wonder, and renewal.
