Alternative Accommodation

Nyungwe Tea Forest Resort | Nyungwe Forest National Park

On the edge of one of Africa's oldest rainforests, where tea fields meet a canopy shaped over millions of years, Nyungwe Tea Forest Resort invites guests to discover Rwanda beyond the expected. Set within the Gisakura Tea Estate and bordering the UNESCO-listed Nyungwe National Park, this destination occupies a place that could exist nowhere else.
Here, the landscape is the journey. Forest trails lead into one of the continent's most biodiverse ecosystems, home to primates and hundreds of bird species. Beyond the canopy, generations of harvesters continue traditions woven into daily life. Guests may track chimpanzees at dawn, explore the tea estate, or learn the crafts and customs of the highlands alongside local guides.
This isn't simply a stay in Rwanda. It is an immersion into one of Africa's most remarkable living landscapes, where every experience reveals a deeper connection to the rainforest, its people and their stories.

Wilderness Magashi | Akagera National Park

Wilderness Magashi is situated in the productive and phenomenally diverse north-eastern corner of Akagera National Park, overlooking scenic Lake Rwanyakazinga. Akagera comprises some of the most scenic savannah in East Africa – open plains, woodlands, lakes, swamp and grassy low mountains – and is home to one of Africa’s highest hippo densities, large crocodiles, as well as the rare sitatunga and boasting an impressive 520 species of birds. Teeming with plains game, Akagera now also boasts a healthy population of lion which were introduced by African Parks in 2015 after a 20-year absence; black rhino were reintroduced in 2017, and white rhino in 2021. Wilderness Magashi – the only exclusive-use area in Akagera – also harbours a good density of leopard.

INSIDER'S TIP: Our core Purpose in Akagera is to help conserve Rwanda’s last protected savannah ecosystem, and species like black rhino and the rare and elusive shoebill; furthermore, our presence here will contribute towards enabling it to become economically self-sufficient for the first time.

Wilderness Sabyinyo | Volcanoes National Park

The lodge is only minutes away from the headquarters of the Volcanoes National Park from where guests trek on foot to see the magnificent mountain gorilla – perhaps one of the most dramatic, thrilling and poignant wildlife experiences possible.

Accommodation at Wilderness Sabyinyo comprises six double cottages, two suites and one family unit. All are stone buildings with Rwandese terracotta tile roofs, and feature large sitting areas, fireplaces, stylish en-suite bathrooms.

INSIDER'S TIP: Wilderness Sabyinyo is Rwanda's first ever community owned lodge. The lodge is operated by Wilderness, however, the ownership rests with a Community Trust, SACOLA (Sabyinyo Community Livelihood Association) which uses rentals and community fees from the lodge to drive socio-economic and conservation initiatives in the communities adjacent to the national park.
