Singita Kwitonda Lodge is built from volcanic rock, river stone, handmade ceramic tiles and oven-fired clay bricks made by surrounding communities. Its grass-roofed, stone-walled, organic cabin-like suites are designed to blend into the landscape, with a farm-to-table garden ("Akarabo Nursery") supplying the kitchen.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
