Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Extension

Surrounded by lush gardens with views of the volcanic Rwenzori range, this new lodge offers deluxe accommodations near Volcanoes National Park, home to Rwanda's endangered mountain gorillas.

This environmentally conscious lodge, a leader in conservation and local community support, offers the closest accommodations to Volcanoes National Park headquarters, where our gorilla treks depart from.

Virunga Safari Lodge sits on a scenic hillside with sweeping views of the Virunga volcanoes and twin lakes. Just 45 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, its eight cozy stone bandas feature private patios, en suite baths, and warm hospitality—an ideal base for gorilla trekking adventures.

Located at the edge of Volcanoes National Park and along the Albertine Rift, the lodge offers easy access to the critically endangered and fiercely protected eastern mountain gorillas, as well as a landscape brimming with plant and animal diversity.
