Wilderness Bisate is a sustainably luxurious rainforest-based lodge offering Africa's most thrilling wild primate experience.
Bisate Lodge welcomes guests aged 15 and older, who are accommodated at the adult rate.
Since opening in 2017, Bisate has earned 34 awards and continues to captivate guests. Its six elegant en-suite forest villas pay tribute to Rwandan royal heritage and provide sweeping views of the Bisoke, Karisimbi, and Mikeno volcanoes. The lodge features a wine cellar, library, spa, restaurant, and a tree nursery, all complemented by warm, welcoming service.
Perched in the trees like giant bird nests, the six Forest Villas of Wilderness Bisate offer a unique stay at the edge of Volcanoes National Park. This is one of the best spots in Africa to begin your trek to see the iconic mountain gorillas of the Virungas.
Bisate’s menu centers on sustainability, featuring seasonal produce from the lodge’s garden and locally-sourced items, like red-skinned potatoes and free-range eggs from nearby farms.
Beyond the mountain gorilla trek, activities at Volcanoes National Park include golden monkey treks, Mount Bisoke hikes, and visits to Dian Fossey’s research center and the Ellen DeGeneres Campus. At the lodge, guests can birdwatch, plant trees, and engage with local communities, all supporting conservation efforts.
Volcanoes National Park shelters endangered mountain gorillas along with golden monkeys, jackals, buffalo, elephants, and over 200 bird species, including several endemic to the Virunga area, enhanced by ongoing conservation efforts around the lodge.

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!

Incredibly helpful and experienced agent Anja
Anja was incredibly helpful and organized the most beautiful safari for us at a small lodge and also arranged our transport. She always responded within minutes no matter the day and took time for all my questions. I will recommend anyone who is looking for a premium experience to get in contact with Anja!
