In September 2024 luxury ecotourism company Wilderness returns to the Rwandan jungle, with its new Wilderness Bisate Reserve. The property will join two existing Wilderness properties in the Volcanoes National Park. Laying on the lower slopes of the extinct volcano that shares the same name, the intimate new property will feature just four spacious villas in a dramatic natural setting. The architecture will pay tribute to the regal traditions and heritage of Rwanda, which are brought to life with the use of sustainable and natural materials. Nestled among the treetops, each villa will offer captivating vistas of the six majestic volcanoes that surround the park. The Bisate forest is home to the endangered mountain gorilla which remains at the heart of Wilderness’ conservation efforts in the area.
The brand has already overseen the planting of nearly 100,000 indigenous trees as part of the new development, transforming the former agricultural site into a thriving forest. The focus on conservation initiatives seamlessly blends with immersive guest activities, including expert-guided gorilla encounters booked through the national park authorities, captivating nature trails and a vibrant birding environment. The resort beckons as a harmonious union of luxury, conservation and cultural immersion where guests will play an active part in the preservation of the gorillas for future generations to enjoy.
