Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge

Description

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is located only minutes away from the headquarters of the Parc National des Volcans from where clients can trek on foot to see the magnificent Mountain gorilla - perhaps one of the most dramatic, thrilling and poignant wildlife experiences possible. Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, situated in the foothills of the mighty Virungas, the chain of 15,000 foot volcanoes stretching through Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, affords wonderful views of the volcanoes and the surrounding countryside.

The guest cottages and the main lodge building have been beautifully constructed and appointed, and the lodge is the perfect base from which to explore this unique and fascinating corner of Africa. The lodge is built and operated by Governors' Camp and is owned by a community trust, SACOLA, which uses rentals and community fees from the lodge to drive socio-economic and conservation initiatives in the communities adjacent to the National Park.

Accommodation at Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge comprises five Double Cottages, two Suites and one Family Suite. All are stone buildings, with Rwandese terracotta tile roofs, and feature large sitting areas, fireplaces, stylish en-suite bathrooms finished with Venetian plaster, a dressing room, and a sheltered verandah. Heat exchangers in the fireplaces provide a plentiful supply of hot water and the Family Suite also offers a second bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

The main lodge building comprises the reception, sitting room with snug area, dining room, library and games room, a responsible tourism and community awareness room, a shop, and bathrooms. Three large fireplaces provide warmth and all rooms are finished with a polished wooden floor. In addition, two patio areas afford wonderful and dramatic views to the Virunga Volcanoes and the surrounding lowland farmland.
