Rwanda: Wilderness Bisate Reserve - a new luxury camp

Wilderness Bisate Reserve - a new luxury camp in Rwanda

This September, at the edge of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, something new is coming. Nestled high in the East African rainforest, optimal habitat for engaging and personal interactions with mountain gorillas, Wilderness Bisate Reserve is our latest offering. Here luxury and privacy combine, and in addition to moving encounters with these gentle giants, there are comically entertaining golden monkeys, and over 200 magnificent bird species to see, in a dramatic landscape set against the backdrop of six striking volcanoes. A true haven of rainforest endemism.

Wilderness Bisate Reserve is crafted with meticulous detail. A spacious main area and just four expansive villas are perched on the rim of a weathered volcano; featuring private hot tubs, Bisate Reserve is ideally poised to capture the majestic views. Moreover, the lodge's architecture embodies the traditions of Rwandan royalty and heritage, while in-room dining options and personalised  service offer the ultimate in intimacy and exclusivity.

Continuing a Wilderness legacy

Artfully blending sophistication and sustainability, Wilderness Bisate Reserve represents an extension of our conservation efforts in Rwanda. We recently recorded a monumental achievement in the country – planting our 100,000th indigenous tree through our reforestation project to transform a former agricultural site into a thriving forest – and hence the apt naming of our ‘reserve’.

Now guests can weave themselves into this profound conservation tale, and actively participate in Bisate’s conservation success story, to become integral contributors to safeguarding Rwanda's wilderness. Every single guest becomes a partner in biodiversity protection and local community upliftment, directly contributing to the preservation of the iconic endangered mountain gorillas.

Namibia: Hoanib Camp in Kaokoland

Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is located in one of the most remote corners of Africa, where the desert landscapes of Kaokoland meet the Skeleton Coast the rugged mountains and canyons of the Hoanib River provide a last refuge for some of the continent's most unique wildlife; this is the home of the legendary desert elephant and the last free roaming rhino population on earth. In fact seventy five per cent of Namibia's endemic species inhabit this last bastion of the wilderness.

The Save the Rhino Trust has been involved with rhino conservation in this area since the early eighties, and in partnership with Wilderness Safaris, offer the chance to experience one of the most incredible desert treks in Africa. Camel expeditions, following ancient paths worn into this harsh land by countless generations of desert elephant and rhino, lead you through this timeless landscape; one that few people have ever seen. Experience the wilder side of Africa where only the sporadic roar of lion or cackle of hyena punctuates the silence of the night. Save the Rhino Trust employ professional trackers from the community who travel with us to search for the rare desert-dwelling black rhino.

Hoanib River Camp is the exclusive tented camp close to the Hoanib River is a relaxed haven from where guests explore this wild land on foot, by camel or from the comfort of one of safari vehicles. The camp is powered by solar-powered inverter systems and there are no generators or pumps running whilst guests are in camp. The near-mythical Hoanib River provides a meandering thread of life in this unforgiving land. Lined by hundreds of Ana Trees, whose copious production of pods attracts large herds of antelope, giraffe and elephant, the oasis like river is rated by purists as one of Africa's great wilderness experiences.


Hoanib River Camp is a must-visit on your Namibian safari.
