Wilderness Sabinyo

An impactful combination of world-class lodge and community force driving socio-economic development and conservation, Wilderness Sabyinyo nestles in the foothills of the mist-shrouded Virunga Massif, a chain of eight immense volcanoes, which straddle three countries. Set on a lush 10.78-hectare property (26.64 acres), Sabyinyo invites you in with its dramatic backdrop of the misty volcanoes which gave the lodge its name – Sabyinyo means old man’s teeth in Kinyarwanda. Here guests can get close to the stories of the land, the wilderness, and the communities. And venture out to encounter Rwanda’s beloved mountain gorillas.
