The magnificent Virunga Lodge is one of our choice, luxury lodges in Rwanda and one of Africa’s finest and most renowned lodges. The lodge is perched high on a ridge with stunning views of the Virunga Volcanoes and the Musanze valley to the west and Lake Bulera and Ruhondo to the east.
It offers the finest views in Africa, uniquely decorated rooms in the Rwandese style, fantastic food and exceptional and personalised service by our carefully trained staff. It is the first accommodation choice for the luxury traveller tracking the endangered mountain gorilla.
Each of the ten luxurious bandas has a private terrace from which our guests can watch the sunrise over the dramatic landscape of mountains and lakes. Luxuriously appointed, with the accent on vibrant Rwandese fabrics and stylish locally inspired furniture.
Each Banda has an individual fire place, a luxury shower room with a double vanity, and charging station.
The two deluxe bandas – called Ibirunga and Ibiyaga have their own private sitting room and more refined interiors.
The Diane Fossey Map Room is a wonderful, museum style room illustrating the history of explorers and researchers who 'discovered' the mountains of the moon and also those who studied the magnificent mountain gorilla!
Virunga Lodge and its owners have played a leading role in Rwanda's inclusive tourism model, your stay here has a positive impact!
