Reviews of Sabyinyo Silverback

"Good lodge with two trails. As my itinerary did not include any afternoon activities these two trails helped making my afternoons less boring" See all these reviews: 7n in Rwanda

"A beautiful Lodge with a friendly, attentive staff.

Wonderful accommodations. Great food. Sabyinyo Silverback does it all extremely well.

The staff does a superb job in preparing you for the golden monkey trek and the gorilla trek - providing gaiters, gloves, a backpack, a rain jacket and snacks.

We highly recommend this Lodge as a base for trekking in Volcanoes National Park." See all these reviews: 9n in Kenya; 8n in Rwanda

"We planned our whole trip (mostly) around Sabyinyo's availability and our stay there did not disappoint.

The lodge itself was immaculate, food was amazing (and they make the most delicious cocktails!), but the staff at Sabyiyo left the biggest impression on us. We're so grateful they took such good care of us, from drying our boots after the treks, to raingear and snacks they'd pack everyday for us.

On our last night at Sabyinyo, we sat outside of the kitchen and ended up hanging out with the entire staff for hours into the night, talking, laughing and just enjoying each other's company.

We cannot wait to bring our friends back to Sabyinyo and show them how great it is!" See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda

"Beautiful lodge, great service and very friendly and accommodating staff. Be prepared for stairs though!

Staff and management went out of their way to make sure my needs were met and I enjoyed my stay. I loved having a fire in my room when I returned in the afternoon. Also great having a soaking tub after a tough hike.

The main lodge has lots of different areas to hang out and enjoy the surroundings. You can always find a quiet nook for yourself. My hiking boots never looked better than when they whisked them away and cleaned them after my trek." See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda

"Excellent lodge. Great service and very good food.

Very flexible service, adapting to the different times that people arrived or returned from treks. The cleaning of the hiking boots was amazing!

Super rooms and the open fire was a delight." See all these reviews: 10n in Rwanda

"This was a delightful place to stay - again further bolstered by the enthusiasm and friendliness of the staff - especially Patrick who looked after the 5 of us impeccably.

3 of our group stayed elsewhere and joined us for dinner in the evening - which worked extremely well, with Sabyinyo Silverback being welcoming and thoughtful over what was clearly an unusual request.

Our room was quite stunning and a great base following early morning starts and arduous hiking . The quality of service, which stretched to providing gaitors (and backpacks, gloves, raincoats and boots if needed), snacks for hiking, laundry and boot cleaning - along with evening fires in our room and hot water bottles was exemplary.

It was misty for much of our stay, but when the mist lifted the views were beautiful and the birdlife was abundant.

The standard of food was very high as was the cocktail making!

If you are travelling as a small group or a couple it does seem you have to accept the presence of a large tour group most evenings in the bar and restaurant areas." See all these reviews: 21n in Rwanda

"Felice our butler??? was so wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed.

The lodge is beautiful - the staff were so welcoming. F

ood was so good. They made us wonderful packed lunches for our treks - everything was thought about and taken care of." See all these reviews: 10n in Rwanda

"Extremely attentive staff! Birdwatching walk with staff member on the grounds was lovely. Fairly good vegan options available, and the staff was very mindful and aware of dietary restrictions in our group. The standalone cottages were cosy and well-appointed, and the setting is gorgeous. We appreciated the fireplaces (fires started by staff).

A small drawback was a hard-sell from the manager regarding tips and community support (suggesting quadruple the levels recommended by Expert Africa!?), when we felt we'd been doing our part to support the community by selecting this lodge. The staff were very knowledgable about what was needed to make the treks happen (lunches, gaiters, gloves, backpacks)!" See all these reviews: 7n in Kenya; 6n in Rwanda

"A beautiful property with fantastic rooms with amazing views and all the amenities.

The pictures do not do it justice at all. It is 5 stars through and through.

The food was incredible and the service was fantastic." See all these reviews: 5n in Seychelles; 3n in Rwanda; 3n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
