Reasons To
Visit Rwanda

  • Boat Trips

    The perfect spot for resting your weary limbs after your gorilla tracking, Lake Kivu is 90 minutes' drive through winding hills and colourful villages from the Virunga Volcanoes. Here you can float on the water on a relaxing boat trip and watch the world go by.

  • Colourful birdlife

    Rwanda is home to Africa's first National Park, Virunga, which was created back in 1925. It was done to protect its most famous wildlife - its gorillas. However, while its primates will be at the top of you to-see list the country's montane forests contain over 700 bird species with many, such as Grauer’s Swamp-warbler, being regionally endemic.

  • Gorillas

    The trek through the dense forest on the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes can take between two to six hours. However your reward is an hour watching your assigned gorilla troop play, eat, groom and relax.

  • Local Culture

    If you want something a bit different head to Butare, Rwanda's second city, where you can visit the King's Palace, the University and the National Museum, which is home to an incredible collection of artefacts which are beautifully presented.

  • Rural scenery

    Up until relatively recently montane forest occupied one third of the territory of present-day Rwanda. Now these ancient forests are mainly restricted to the three main parks: Volcanoes National Park, Nyungwe Forest National Park and Akagera National Park. By visiting any one of these you will see a great diversity of fauna and flora.

Gorilla Volcanoes Hotel

Ruhengeri

This small hotel was opened in April 2009, and is located in the heart of Ruhengeri.

It takes approximately 25 minutes to drive from here to the park headquarters where you start and end your gorilla tracking excursion and other excursions in the Volcanoes National Park.

There are 35 rooms, located over four floors, and each has been decorated in a fairly simple, but comfortable way. Each room has twin or double beds, balcony overlooking the garden and pool area, and en suite bathrooms - these are quite small, but contain a shower over the bath, toilet and sink and have 24 hours hot running water. There is also a television in each room.

There is a swimming pool and a gym here, and a restaurant.

Located on quite a busy road in Ruhengeri, this is not a peaceful location as the road can be quite noisy at times, but this is the only hotel in the area with a swimming pool, and if you want the ability to walk around the town and eat at different restaurants, this is a reasonable option.
