Virunga, Rwanda
About This Property
The Experience
Virunga Lodge is a small lodge run by Volcanoes Safaris, set on a ridge in northern Rwanda with views over the Virunga volcanoes and the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo. Opened in 2004, it has stone bandas with private terraces and fireplaces. The Dian Fossey Map Room, the main lounge and a small spa sit in terraced gardens, and stays include butler service and drinks. It is a base for gorilla trekking and golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park, though it is a longer drive to park headquarters than lodges in Kinigi.
