In Rwanda’s lush highlands, Condé Nast Traveler Global Digital Director Arati Menon explores Wilderness Bisate Reserve—an eco-luxury sanctuary on the edge of Volcanoes National Park. On a mountain gorilla trek, she moves in rhythm with these peaceful primates, discovering a profound sense of stillness, serenity and connection. Between restorative massages, reflective moments, and meaningful encounters with the local farming community, Menon witnesses how life, food, and wellness are deeply intertwined with the land. Back at the lodge, she enjoys vibrant Pan-African cuisine, savoring flavors that reflect the region’s rich culture. This journey of grounding in nature brings balance, renewal, and unforgettable memories.
