Nestled uniquely in the rugged arena of a volcanic cone, this new lodge from Wilderness Safaris enjoys a space in the truly marginal environs of a 42-hectare site. Its six forest villas house their own reception area and central fireplace, and afford unrivalled views towards the spectacular Karisimbi, Bisoke and Mikeno volcanoes. And gorilla-spotting opportunities are within easy reach via the close-by Volcanoes National Park headquarters, with other trekking options abounding across the desolate Albertine Rift.
