Mountain Gorilla View Lodge is on the slopes of Mount Sabyinyo, offering an accessible base for exploring Volcanoes National Park. The lodge features spacious individual cottages built from local stone and thatch, each with a fireplace to warm cool mountain evenings. Large windows frame views of the Virunga Volcano chain, and private verandas allow you to take in the shifting light over the highlands.

This lodge is particularly convenient for gorilla trekking, as it lies only a short drive from the park headquarters where treks depart each morning. Meals are served in a large central restaurant with panoramic vistas, and evenings often bring traditional dance performances around a roaring fire.
