Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge Builds a New Cottage

Considered the most high-end accommodation near Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda's lush highlands, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge makes the perfect base for trekking to see eastern mountain gorillas. The lodge maintains full occupancy much of the year, so they recently opened a new, tenth cottage to accommodate more guests without sacrificing their high staff-to-guest ratio and excellent service. Perched on a hilltop, the lodge offers incredible views. Be mindful, there are about 100 steps from the parking lot up to the lodge!
