Virunga Lodge has been called one of the finest in Africa, set on a hilltop surrounded by the Virunga volcanoes and the volcanic Lakes Ruhondo and Bulera.

The refurbished Virunga lodge will remain in the organic bush-chic style of Volcanoes Safaris but the bandas are being upgraded to provide greater elegance and comfort for guests.

Volcanoes Safaris is the only company in the world to have its own properties near three mountain gorilla parks.

While providing high levels of comfort and elegance, the company has remained committed to ecofriendly principles. The team believes that providing western standards of comfort in remote areas of Africa needs to be balanced with the impact that international travelers generally have on the environment.

The company makes their contribution to minimizing environmental disturbance by using a variety of natural energy sources- especially solar power- reducing water consumption, and controlling waste disposal.

Most of all they respect and work with local populations and recruit staff from their communities to manage the properties. The refurbishment of the Virunga Lodge is expected to be complete in 2010.
