"Het hotel is ruim opgezet, het personeel vriendelijk. Ontvangst met gemberthee. Het hotel was schoon, de kamers ruim. sAvonds werd de haard in onze kamer aangestoken. Voor onze safari naar de Golden Monkeys was het een heel goede locatie, ook voor de Gorilla safari in Rwanda is het een goede plek. Het eten was uitgebreid , maar de kwaliteit viel een beetje tegen.

Learn more about Kinigi

Base yourself in this mountain town for gorilla trekking adventures in nearby Volcanoes National Park. Rangers lead small groups through misty forests where endangered mountain gorillas live in their natural habitat.

This is near sunset at the beautiful Virunga lodge  Rwanda surprised me with its beauty and here at the lodge beauty just strikes you in a way you never forget. The fact that the memories of the lodge are not completely forgotten when compared to the gorilla treks is a testament to how great it is.  I blog at circlingthebucketlist if you want to see more pictures of my time here or read about my impressions.
