Stunning Views
Perched on the edge of the Macal River, with stunning views towards the Black Rock Canyon, Black Rock Lodge is a delightfully off-grid retreat
Just as safari aficionados have their list of big five game animals they must see, wildlife lovers have an ultimate ambition. And that is to encounter a family of magnificent mountain gorillas and share a mutually respectful experience. It is one of the most dramatic, gentle, thrilling and poignant moments and it will inspire emotions that you’ll remember forever.
Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is ideally situated to make sure you experience the moment for yourself. It is in the Parc National des Volcan, through which you can trek on foot for your encounter with the local gorillas – and at the same time be contributing to their conservation.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
