Set within a landscape of wetlands and lush meadows, there will be eight suites and a four-bedroom villa linked by volcanic rock pathways to a central lodge. click here for Mountain gorilla trekking tours

Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House will be built to embody the spirit of Rwanda and offer a tribute to the lodge’s namesake, Kwitonda, a great silverback gorilla whose legend lives on in Rwanda and was known for his humility and gentleness.

Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House are located on a breathtaking, isolated, but contained, 178-acre piece of land right on the edge of Volcanoes National Park.

The opening of Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House puts gorilla trekking within easy reach and gives guests the option of combining a visit to Rwanda with a classic safari at Singita’s private concession on the Serengeti plains in Tanzania. Singita Serengeti is home to six unique lodges and camps set in distinctive parts of the vast 350,000-acre private concession.

The dry season, which runs from June to September, is the ideal time to visit Rwanda. Because these times of the year provide the best climbing conditions and the lowest risk of  rainfall, they are also the ideal times of  the year to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

In the ideal times of the year, you can hike to view mountain gorillas in Rwanda, but be aware that it might be challenging hiking through the muddy pathways in the rainy months. You will be trekking through Rwanda's deep, tropical woods to reach the mountain gorillas, so you should be in reasonably excellent shape before you set out on your adventure.
