How They Dazzle Us

The most dazzling thing about this wonderful landing on the edge of the Volcanoes National Park is its proximity to the mountain gorillas that live in the nearby forests. These giant creates are a site to behold. It is their size, their humanity and their rarity that all combine to make them so dazzling and so worth a visit. No matter what people tell you about the majesty of the big five or the awesomeness that is a close encounter with whales, the gorillas are next level – they are life-changing. And the trek from Singita Kwitonda is worth it.

Why We Love Them

Singita Kwitonda has struck an amazing balance between civilization and nature and it is like very few other safari experiences that you will ever have. From Kwitonda you can launch missions to go gorilla trekking or to spot a golden monkey, but there are also great opportunities to interact with the local communities or to head into the city of Kigali, one of Africa’s most modern and vibrant Capital cities. Singita Kwitonda is not just about disappearing into the bush for an extended stay, it’s about quality time being immersed in the full experience of Africa.

Their Sustainable Superpower

The team at Singita Kwitonda do so much to develop and assist with both the local people and the local wild life that it is hard to know where to start. The lodge is built using locally sourced and created materials like woven ceilings and hand-fired terracotta brickwork. The food is locally sourced and Kwitonda’s farm-to-table food journey celebrates Rwandese cuisine and fresh produce from the on-site garden. Meanwhile the Akarabo Nursery is a fundamental part of Singita’s ambitious undertaking to contribute to the long-term conservation of the endangered mountain gorillas by increasing their habitat through reforestation.
