Perched high on a ridge with commanding 360-degree views of the Virunga Volcanoes and the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo, Virunga Lodge is among Rwanda’s most iconic lodges. The lodge’s stone bandas combine rustic character with refined details, handwoven textiles, large fireplaces, and private terraces that seem suspended above the landscape. Each banda is named after one of the volcanoes or lakes, reinforcing the intimate connection to this place.
