A two-and-a-half-hour drive from Kigali, the lodge is situated on Rwanda’s north-western reach of Musanze, right on the edge of the Volcanoes National Park, a location that puts the gorilla trekking experience within easy reach.
Singita Kwitonda’s aesthetic is of pale neutral shades, organic textures, hand-fired terracotta brickwork, woven ceilings, brutalist-inspired sculptures, dry-packed volcanic stone walls, rammed earth and volcanic rock paved floors with a profusion of natural light that make the lodge’s design an architectural marvel.
the Akarabo Nursery is a fundamental part of Singita’s ambitious undertaking to contribute to the long-term conservation of endangered mountain gorillas by increasing their habitat through reforestation
Sustainability is a large part of Singita’s tourism operating model, which directly supports biodiversity and the community in and around their lodges.
In South Africa they have Singita Lebombo and Singita Sweni lodge in Kruger National Park, Ebony Lodge, Castleton and Boulders Lodge in Singita Sabi Sand, in Tanzania the Sasakwa Lodge, Sabora Tented Camp, Faru Faru Lodge, Serengeti House, Singita Explore and, Mara River Camp, and the Pamushana Lodge and Malilangwe House in Zimbabwe.
