The Luxurious Virunga Lodge, Rwanda

The magnificent Virunga Lodge is perched high on a ridge offering breathtaking views of the Virunga Volcanoes and the shimmering twin lakes of Bulera and Rhonda. It is the premier luxury destination for Rwanda wildlife safaris and tracking the endangered mountain gorillas. Virunga Lodge includes two spacious deluxe bandas and has frequently been described as having ‘the best view in the world’ and as ‘one of the finest lodges in Africa’. The main building, sitting on top of the world, provides a cozy refuge to enjoy a drink around the fire. The lodge’s mature
terraced gardens and the magical sunken paradise garden are hosts to an array of beautiful wildflowers, which attract a wide variety of birdlife that can be enjoyed on one of our birding tours around the lodge.

Five of the eight luxurious bandas (rooms) have recently been refurbished, each with its own fireplace, African interior design, and private terrace with breath-taking views of the Virunga Volcanoes and the twin lakes. Sensitive installations such as solar power ensure guests enjoy luxurious comforts while maintaining a crucial sensitivity to the environment.
