Rwanda is a top destination for gorilla trekking safaris in Volcanoes National Park, with some of the top-notch accommodation lodges spread out on the outskirts of the gorilla park.

Volcanoes is known for its exclusive luxury lodges like One & Only’s Gorilla’s Nest, Wildernest Safaris’ Bisate, Bishop’s House, and Singita’s Kwitonda Lodge. However, mid-range safari lodges like Five Volcanoes and Virunga Lodges won’t require you to break the bank for an exclusive stay.
