Dramatic. Thrilling. Poignant. The wildlife experience of a lifetime

The lodge is only minutes away from the headquarters of the Parc National des Volcans from where clients trek on foot to see the magnificent Mountain Gorilla – perhaps one of the most dramatic, thrilling and poignant wildlife experiences possible.

The lodge, situated in the foothills of the mighty Virungas, the chain of 15,000 ft volcanoes stretching through Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, affords wonderful views of the volcanoes and the surrounding countryside. Guest cottages and the main lodge building have been beautifully constructed and appointed and the lodge is the perfect base from which to explore this unique and fascinating corner of Africa.

The main attraction of Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is its proximity to the Virungas and the Parc National des Volcans where clients trek on foot to see the magnificent Mountain Gorilla – perhaps one of the most dramatic, thrilling and poignant wildlife experiences possible.  There are, however, a myriad of other excursions on offer to our clients.

Including treks to see the fascinating and beautiful Golden Monkeys which are found in the bamboo forests on the slopes of the Virunga Mountains and who provide an entertaining viewing as they leap from tree to tree and frolic in the open clearings of the forest.

Other activities on offer include visits to:

• Community projects, basketwork and pottery
• The conservation and socio-economic work of SACOLA and the Rwandese authorities
• The genocide memorials
• The lava flows outside Ruhengeri town
• Lakes Kivu, Burera, Ruhondo and Karago
• Vibrant and colourful local markets and villages
• Areas of interest to ornithologists – Rwanda boasts 670 species
• Dian Fossey memorial and research centre

We believe our clients should spend at least 2 days, in addition to the days on which they go gorilla trekking, exploring and getting to know this hospitable, vibrant and fascinating corner of Africa
