Singita is honoured to be opening Singita Kwitonda Lodge in late 2019 on 178 acres on the edge of Volcanoes National Park. Singita Kwitonda will be built to embody the spirit of Rwanda and offer a tribute to the hotel’s namesake – Kwitonda – a great silverback gorilla whose legend lives on in Rwanda and name translates to ‘humble.’

The presence of Singita Kwitonda Lodge on the park border will help to create a natural space between agricultural plots and the habitat of the estimated 320 mountain gorillas that find sanctuary here. The opening of the new property puts gorilla trekking within easy reach and in combination with a classic safari at Singita’s private concessions on the Serengeti plains in Tanzania. Besides gorillas, there is much to see and explore, from the Afro montane forests of Nyungwe National Park to the vibrant and sophisticated capital city, Kigali.
