In honor of Dr. Dian Fossey
26 December 2025
In honor of Dr. Dian Fossey, the Dian Fossey Map Room at Virunga Lodge stands as a tribute to her unique contribution to mountain gorilla conservation.
“Her work was instrumental in understanding the lives of gorillas, helping understand how to protect them and led to setting up sensitive tourism to help try and preserve them for the future.” - Praveen Moman
Guests at Virunga Lodge explore a permanent exhibition in the Map Room, which gives an overview of the exploration and conservation of the area around the Virunga Volcanoes.
Volcanoes Safaris partners with Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund as members of the Founders Circle for the new Ellen DeGeneres Campus in Rwanda.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of her tragic death, Volcanoes Safaris remembers and honours the legacy she left behind.
