In partnership with the Rwandan Development Board (RDB), conservation company and resort operator Singita will be opening the doors of Singita Kwitonda in late 2019.

Founder of Singita Luke Bailes said the focus for the hotel would be very sustainable, with architects and interior designers set to use locally sourced materials.

Local communities have also been involved in the project as they have been building traditional dry stone walling for areas within the landscape.

As part of the sustainability approach, the company will be building a nursery planting more than 60,000 tree saplings in and around the hotel.
