Nestled at the edge of Volcanoes National Park, Singita Kwitonda Lodge sits on a 178-acre sanctuary offering unrivaled proximity to Rwanda’s famed gorilla habitat. With sweeping views of the Virunga Volcanoes—Sabyinyo, Gahinga, and Muhabura—this award-winning lodge is purposefully designed to immerse guests in dramatic landscapes and authentic Rwandan culture. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that Singita has elevated luxury eco-tourism to a deeper, more soulful level.

Architecturally crafted from local volcanic rock, hand-fired terracotta, and woven ceilings by over 500 regional artisans, Kwitonda blends elegance with conservation-driven purpose. The interiors reflect Rwanda’s earthy palette—lava black, sage green, fiery ochre—while oversized windows and private terraces bring the forest and mountain vistas vividly to life. Conservation is core to the property: through an on-site Akarabo Nursery, over 250,000 indigenous trees have been planted, and guests are invited to tour, learn, and even contribute directly during their stay.

The lodge is perfectly located within 1.2 km of the Volcanoes Park boundary, making gorilla trekking a natural outbound from the lodge. Each guest’s journey is enriched through personalized service, sustainable design, and a genuine commitment to community partnership and environmental stewardship
