Volcanoes Safaris is a unique great ape ecotourism business specializing in mountain gorilla safaris to Uganda and Rwanda, and was founded in 1997. No other company in the world has invested so heavily in the area around the mountain gorilla parks in these two countries.
Over the last decade, Volcanoes Safaris has taken over 5,000 clients on gorilla safaris and we currently employ over 100 people globally. This exceptional track record makes Volcanoes Safaris the No. 1 Gorilla Safari Company.
Volcanoes Safaris has created an unrivalled and integrated set of ecotourism services to share with clients the great apes of Africa. Volcanoes was at the forefront of opening tourism around the Ugandan gorilla parks a decade ago and in 2000 became the first international up-market safari company to take clients to see gorillas in post-conflict Rwanda, a vital step in relaunching its international tourism.
Volcanoes is now using this pioneering experience to advise conservation organizations, governments and donors on how to launch great ape ecotourism in the forgotten forests of the Congo Basin. |
Volcanoes visionary approach to ecotourism offers a special insight into the complex gorilla-human world through the eco-lodges we have created near the gorilla parks – Bwindi and Mgahinga in Uganda and Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda. Our properties are thought to be the best in the region and are sensitive to the post-conflict context, the culture of local communities, the fragility of the environment and the need to use resources in a sustainable way. We are also building Kyambura Gorge Lodge in Uganda, next to a threatened community of chimpanzees. Our HQ staff in Kampala, Uganda supported by our offices in Kigali, Rwanda, London and Atlanta – and of course our outstanding guides - create magical safaris to this mesmerizing area of Africa.
We look forward to creating a distinctive and memorable holiday for you!.
