Virunga Hotel is a three stars’ hotel located in the Northern Province of Rwanda, in Musanze District. This is 85km from Kigali and 25km from the Ugandan border. It is the first hotel in the Virunga volcano ranges
The hotel is only about 25 Minutes drive from the Volcanoes National Park, home of the famous mountain gorillas. It has 25 self-contained modern rooms fully equipped with Satellite TV, Internet access, a fridge for your refreshment and an external phone line. The hotel also offers an opportunity to have access to all the facilities of the town as it is found right in the middle of Musanze Business Center.
While Virunga Hotel, visitors get a chance to trek golden monkeys and mountain gorillas in the same place. Trekking the impressive Afromontane forest in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is where the happiness begins. At the first moment, a visitor sees the unique-impressing mountain gorilla in a very challenging to explain experience, unless you took a gorilla safari.
Mountain gorillas are critically endangered, and the African Wildlife Foundation estimates that there are less than 900 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild. These small populations of gorillas reside in four national parks spanning three countries: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
