Volcanoes is the only company to have built its own exclusive safari eco-lodges next to three gorilla parks and the Kyambura Gorge, home to a threatened community of chimpanzees. Our eco-lodges are thought to be the best in the region.We believe that ecotourism in these remote areas needs to respect the culture of local communities, their modest economic means and the fragility of the environment. In areas where we do not have our own lodges we will recommend the best property in the area.
