One of the fun things to do while in Rwanda if you’re an avid sightseer is explore two extinct volcanoes; Bisoke and Karisimbi. The best place to savor the views is Bisate Lodge. Opened in 2017, Bisate has bagged 34 awards owing to its proximity to the country’s two landmarks and its rich culture.
In Kinyarwanda, “Bisate” means “pieces”. Many years back, the place was worn out by soil erosion, causing the formation of volcanoes. The lodge has six luxurious suites, providing panoramic views, guaranteeing extra comfort, and helping guests to appreciate Rwandese culture. Go for gorilla trekking while enjoying Rwanda’s authentic experience at Bisate.
Learning about gorillas’ personalities and tendencies is one of the experiences that makes Bisate popular worldwide. Learning about them begins by trekking through the rainforest. However, children below 15 years aren’t allowed to take part in the trekking. The lodge is always open year-round, but the rates vary per season. June to October is the peak season, while March to May is considered low peak month.
