Our Unique Lodges
We operate four unique lodges across Rwanda and Uganda: Virunga Lodge in Rwanda; Bwindi Lodge, Mount Gahinga Lodge, and Kyambura Gorge Lodge in Uganda. Each lodge is strategically located near national parks where you can find these rare primates.
Virunga Lodge is situated on a hilltop overlooking Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo with breathtaking views of the Virunga volcanoes. It offers ten luxurious bandas with private terraces where guests can relax while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Bwindi Lodge is located just steps away from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park - home to half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. The lodge features eight spacious bandas with en-suite bathrooms, fireplaces for chilly evenings, private verandas overlooking the forest canopy.
Mount Gahinga Lodge sits at an altitude of 2,347 meters above sea level at the foothills of Mount Sabinyo - one of three volcanoes that make up Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The lodge offers six comfortable bandas with en-suite bathrooms, fireplaces, and private verandas.
Kyambura Gorge Lodge is located on the edge of Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. It offers eight spacious bandas with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas overlooking the Kyambura Gorge, and a swimming pool.
Our Safari Packages
We offer a range of safari packages to suit different interests and budgets. Our gorilla safaris are our most popular packages, where guests get to trek through dense forests in search of mountain gorillas. We also offer chimpanzee trekking safaris where guests can track chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
For those who want to experience more than just primates, we have other safari packages that include game drives through national parks such as Queen Elizabeth National Park or Akagera National Park. These parks are home to an array of wildlife species such as elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and many more.
