Pioneers of gorilla and chimpanzee ecotourism in Uganda and Rwanda since 1997, Volcanoes Safaris has been at the forefront of reviving gorilla and chimpanzee ecotourism in Uganda and Rwanda. The Volcanoes team is excited to share the rich culture, history, and hospitality traditions of the Great Lakes Region of Africa. They look forward to welcoming you to their lodges.
Established in 2009, the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust (VSPT) connects luxury lodges to local communities for long-term, self-sustaining projects focused on community enrichment, great ape conservation, habitat restoration, and human-wildlife conflict reduction. Funding is sourced from safari bookings and private donations. Guests at Volcanoes Lodges have the opportunity to visit VSPT projects, including various activities at Kyambura Gorge Lodge, Bwindi Lodge, Mount Gahinga Lodge, and Virunga Lodge. Private donations support community projects, and VSPT products are available for purchase at the lodges.
The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
