Amenities Volcanoes Safaris specializes in sensitive tourism related to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and other primates and wildlife in the national parks that are near its lodges. Volcanoes’ guides are all Ugandan and Rwandan nationals and know their countries intimately; they maximize animalviewing opportunities, while providing insight into local cultural perspectives. At the lodges, there are cozy sitting areas, outdoor terraces and dining rooms that offer plenty of space to relax, take in the stunning views and enjoy the company of fellow adventurers. Complimentary massages are also available at each lodge.

Volcanoes Safaris is the only company to own lodges at both the major mountain gorilla parks and a chimpanzee park. Each property is a cluster of individual bandas that blend seamlessly into the landscape, with minimal environmental impact. Elegant furnishings, roomy sitting areas and private bathrooms are unexpected and welcome comforts in this rugged wilderness.
