Virunga Community Projects

Virunga Lodge Community Projects focus on improving the livelihoods of local people living in the communities neighbouring Virunga Lodge. Guests staying at Virunga Lodge can join in and experience life in the local communities, by participating in our village and birding walks, the “one sheep per family” project, the water tank project and the Virunga solar power project. Virunga Lodge supports the local Intore Dance troupe who perform the traditional Rwandan ballet ‘The Intore’ for guests at the lodge.

In 2022 Volcanoes Safaris have partnered with Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund as platinum members of the Founders Circle for the new Ellen DeGeneres Campus in Rwanda, with support of $100,000 in cash and kind provided over five years.
