Discover Rwanda: The Land Of A Thousand Hills
Explore an unforgettable Rwanda safari
Nothing can prepare you for it. The moment you encounter a mountain gorilla in the wild. As you close in quietly to see a mother cradling her baby, just metres away from you in the legendary mist-shrouded Virunga Mountains, there’s a palpable sense of interconnectedness. From the land, to the wildlife, to the people.
Everything is seamlessly woven into every level of the ecosystem. And the ripple effects are seen everywhere.

Wilderness Sabyinyo - Gorilla Trekking In Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park
An empowered community, a future for mountain gorillas, and the conservation of Volcanoes National Park – that is the legacy Wilderness Sabyinyo proudly supports.
As Rwanda’s first community-owned lodge, established by the visionary non-profit SACOLA (Sabyinyo Community Livelihood Association), Sabyinyo is so much more than a luxury retreat. It’s part of a model that ensures communities benefit from tourism, generating revenue the SACOLA Trust uses to facilitate community development and conservation initiatives in the Kinigi area, adjacent to Volcanoes National Park.
For Wilderness, Sabyinyo represents the kind of tourism we believe in: the kind that creates tangible value for communities while contributing to the long-term protection of nature and wildlife.
