Gorillas Volcanoes Hotel | Budget Stay Near Volcanoes, Rwanda

Create lasting memories as you enjoy activities around Gorillas Volcanoes Hotel, including gorilla trekking and golden monkey tracking. These activities are possible because Volcanoes National Park, which is home to these species, is nearby.

Both gorillas and birds are very sensitive, so visitors must remain quiet to avoid disturbing them. Any noise may cause them to hide, making it harder to see them. Gorillas are often easier to spot during the rainy months when fruits are in plenty, but trekking can also be done in the dry season.

Guests start their day at the hotel with a heavy breakfast before heading to the park for a briefing on trekking rules and guidelines. After the adventure, they return to rest at Gorillas Volcanoes Hotel.

Birdwatching combined with nature walks is another activity offered. Guests are advised to carry a camera to capture the moments and binoculars for better viewing of birds and distant objects.

You can also visit nearby villages to meet local people and take part in their daily activities such as farming, rearing animals, music, dance, and drama.

Mountain climbing to the volcano summits is another exciting activity not to be missed. It involves trekking through different levels of forest, streams, and landscapes before reaching the peak.

To prepare, it is best to do some hiking exercises months before your trip to reduce the risk of altitude sickness or fatigue. Always consult a doctor before taking part to ensure you are fit for the climb.

If altitude sickness occurs during the trek, you may rest, descend slowly, or seek further treatment if necessary.
