Bisate Lodge starts recently an important initiative: the reforestation of 43 hectares of Bisate land, mimic the volcanoes’ natural vegetation zones with a bamboo forest at the lower level and Hagenia and Dombea trees further up. The project aims to recreate the indigenous rainforest for the natural recolonisation of the reforested land by birds and animals. To continue this reforestation initiative, where more than 20 000 indigenous trees have been already plantend, Bisate’s guests are encouraged to spend time in the tree nursery and to plant a tree during their stay to contribute directly to the restoration of this area.
Bisate Lodge is Rwanda’s first luxurious and eco-sensitive safari lodge, adjacent to Volcanoes National Park offers most immersive wild primate experience of Africa. Located in the natural amphitheatre of an eroded volcanic cone, Bisate Lodge combines gorilla treks with a pioneering vision of reforestation and community partnership. Within easy driving distance of the Park Headquarters, gorilla treks depart daily, while nature walks inside Bisate’s property offer birding and participation in the reforestation program. Six amazing en-suite Forest Villas maximise comfort while adhering to environmentally responsible principles. Their architecture and interiors are rooted in Rwandan cultural traditions. All villas are warmed by a central fireplace. The main area comprises a lounge, dining and bar area, wine cellar and a viewing deck overlooking the breathtaking peaks of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes.
