After breakfast at Nyungwe House, you’ll depart with a packed lunch on a 6-hour road transfer. The journey passes through the mesmerising, terraced hillsides that characterise much of Rwanda’s landscape, also known as the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’. Your home for the next few days is the incredible Singita Kwitonda Lodge, set in a remote section of untouched forest on the fringes of Volcanoes National Park. Your suite boasts uninterrupted views of three forested volcanoes in the national park – Volcanoes is home to five of the eight extinct volcanoes that make up the Virunga Mountains. Equipped with a dressing room, private terrace with a heated plunge pool, and a cosy fireplace, Kwitonda Lodge elevates your luxury gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda. You spend the next two days tracking gorillas through the forested slopes of the Virungas. Spending time with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is arguably the most soul-stirring and profound wildlife encounter on Earth. There are less than 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the world – trekking into their native forests is the only way to see these critically endangered gorillas, as they cannot survive in captivity. Trekking takes place in the mornings, after which you’ll have lunch back at Kwitonda Lodge and spend the afternoons at leisure. information Luxurious lodge in a remote setting of Rwanda: heated private plunge pools and outdoor showers Breath-taking views of Volcanoes National Park Encounter rare and endangered mountain gorilla and golden monkeys Extraordinary photographic opportunities Spa treatments to soothe weary legs after a day of trekking Villa with four bedrooms for groups or families travelling together
