Best Lodges and Camps in Rwanda
Best Lodges and Camps in Rwanda, embark on a new adventure. In recent years, Rwanda has become an emerging destination for western luxury travelers, thanks to its growing mountain gorilla population, classic savanna wildlife experiences, and quickly evolving capital city of Kigali. It’s also become a haven of world-class lodgings. This article gives exclusive, private best lodges and camps in Rwanda. They include:-
Singita Kwitonda Lodge. Book Now
The only thing better than cinematic views of Volcanoes National Park from your private villa? Enjoying those mist-shrouded peaks from a heated plunge pool next to a roaring fire. Leave it to Singita Kwitonda Lodge, a benchmark setter for luxury safari lodge, to find an unparalleled location for the company’s latest retreat. It’s the closest you can get to the National Park with the eight stand-alone rooms, with their soaring ceilings and picture windows facing the Sabinyo, Gahinga, and Muhabura volcanoes, take inspiration from the local landscape (volcanic stone walls; hand-fired terra-cotta brick) and pair it with an earthy palette of grays and greens.
Bisate Lodge.
A winding volcanic stone staircase leads to the hillside of Bisate Lodge, but the 320-foot climb is worth every step: With its six individual villas, Bisate faces views of three volcanoes within Volcanoes National Park, and it is designed to mimic the thatched exteriors of the palace of a Rwandan king. The result is a futuristic-looking cluster of thatched cocoons embedded in the tree-lined hillside, with a sustainable twist: Get closer to the thatching, and you’ll notice it’s made of recycled plastic. Rwandan designer Teta Isibo of Inzuki Designs collaborated with Cape Town-based Artichoke Design on the locally inspired interiors; Rwandan textiles appear on pillows and upholstery, and cowhide rugs cover wooden floors. Showers are made of volcanic stone, and a wood-burning fireplace heats up the entire room to max coziness.
One & Only Gorilla’s Nest Lodge
One & Only Gorilla’s Nest brings extra elegance and comfort to the heart of Volcanoes National Park jungles and awakens freedom of spirit as well as a wild sense of adventure. The facility is made up of 21 Lodges and suites spread across with views of the eucalyptus and Virunga Volcanoes. While here, you will have a chance to participate in breathtaking gorilla treks, golden monkey treks, Volcano hikes as well as birding expeditions, and in the evening unwind in comfort.
Magashi Camp.
In 2019, Magashi Camp was opened up in the park’s wildlife-rich northeastern corner along scenic Lake Rwanyakazinga as the only luxury lodging. Magashi is also the only privately managed area in Akagera, which means that guests staying at this property have more than 16,000 acres to explore all by themselves. Magashi’s private concession status also allows for offroading, walking safaris, and even evening drives—all activities that are prohibited in the park. In the six spacious tents, which are fully solar-powered, sisal rugs cover natural wood floors, and traditional basket weavings decorate stone-clad bathrooms. Each accommodation has its own deck facing the lake, which is teeming with hippos and crocodiles. When you’re not on a game drive checking out nearby lion prides or taking a spin on the retreat’s double-decker swamp cruiser, you can cool off and take in the magical surroundings at the lake-facing swimming pool.
The Retreat by Heaven.
The Retreat is now regarded as one of the city’s most sought-after boutique hotels—and likely even more so after the debut of eight enormous villa suites. Each suite is slated to be massive (1,300 square feet) and will feature oak floors, high ceilings, mattresses made of organic materials, and outdoor showers; they’ll also have their own saltwater plunge pools heated by solar power. Part of the property the upgrade included an expanded gym, a new three-room spa, and an outdoor fitness deck that hosts weekly yoga classes.
One & Only Nyungwe House.
Come Witness this spectacular facility! This is the most recommended accommodation facility for our guests visiting Nyungwe forests. One & Only Nyungwe House is a stupendous luxury accommodation at the edge of Nyungwe Forest National Park, found in the south-western side of Rwanda.

Adventure awaits you, enjoy and stay at one of the best lodges and camps in Rwanda merged with enchanting wildlife, cultural heritage, and exotic cuisine.
