Things To Note When Staying At Virunga Lodge

1. With its seclusion, it is a slightly away from the main gate of Volcanoes Park. Guests travel an extra 30-45 minutes to access the park headquarter's starting point.
2. The deluxe banda room is on the higher price range.
3. Views of the rooms are variable. Some of them face the lakes while others face the volcanoes.
4. For its price, seclusion and authentic luxury ambiance, it is on the higher price range due to lack of serious competition.
