Lodge Spotlight: Why We Love Bisate Lodge, Rwanda

Where sustainability meets luxury.

Nestled in the natural amphitheatre of an eroded volcanic cone, Wilderness Bisate offers breathtaking views of Volcanoes National Park. More than just a place to stay, it’s a pioneering model of conservation and community partnership.

With its ambitious reforestation project and strong ties to the surrounding villages, every visit helps protect Rwanda’s mountain gorillas and supports local livelihoods.

This is travel with purpose — and unforgettable memories.

Uganda’s Wildlife is Thriving – And You Can Be Part of It

Uganda’s national parks are a true conservation success story — and there’s no better time to visit.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the support of local communities, many once critically endangered species are now flourishing.

Did you know Uganda is home to:

50% of Africa’s bird species
8% of the world’s mammals
Nearly 54% of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas

Every night spent on safari supports the Future Generations Trust — funding community-driven projects that make a real difference.

One of their key initiatives is their mobile medical camps in the Mubaku community near Murchison Falls, which offer vital healthcare to hundreds of people with limited access to medical services.

Travel with purpose. Witness the wild. Support the future.
