Hidden amongst the foothills of the spectacular Virungas — a

chain of 15 000 foot volcanoes that lie in what is thought to be

the heart of the legendary land of King Solomon’s mines, is

the beautiful Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge. Here, surrounded by

the tropical forests of Rwanda, just a stone’s throw away from

the renowned Parc National des Volcans, guests can unwind in

one of six luxurious stone cottages, two suites or, for small

groups, an elegant one family suite — each with a large sitting

room, fireplace, stylish ensuite bathroom and private veranda.

Scrumptious menus can be savoured in the beautiful dining

room and refreshing sundowners can be enjoyed on any one of

the two patios that provide breathtaking views of the Virunga

volcanoes. After an adventure-filled day guests can retreat to

the library cum games room or brush up on their knowledge in

the responsible tourism/community awareness room.

Adventures include hikes into the Parc National des Volcans in

search of the majestic mountain gorilla and the enchanting

golden monkey, cultural excursions, visits to the lava flows

outside Ruhengeri town and vibrant village markets or to the
