Urugano Virunga Palace Rwanda – Cultural Stays Near Volcanoes National Park

A new dawn awaits you at Urugano Virunga Palace, where artistic design and comfortable facilities give you peace and relaxation. Your stay can be made even more special by visiting the nearby villages, where locals share their daily activities depending on the season of your visit. You will always enjoy their music, dance, and drama, which they use to welcome guests and make your Rwanda gorilla trekking safari memorable.

Taking photographs or filming locals and the surroundings is allowed, but only after getting permission from both the tourism authorities and the community. This law helps protect privacy and the security of the country.

After your village visit, you can head to the nearby hills for a walk and learn more about Rwanda’s geography. Trekking is a physical activity that requires good health and fitness, so it is important to see your doctor before traveling. If the doctor recommends antibiotics or other medication, follow their advice carefully.

It is also wise to purchase travel insurance that covers unexpected events. If you do not understand the details of the policy, ask your tour guide to explain so you avoid regrets later. Always keep receipts for any money you spend, as you may be able to claim the amount back once you return home. Also, make sure to double check the company you book with, as some tour companies in Africa may not be reliable.

During the rainy months, some areas near the volcanoes may be hard to reach because of mud and floods. In the dry season, however, you can travel further into the gorilla habitats. To make your stay easier, Urugano Virunga Palace provides helpful travel guides and books with information about the best places to visit and activities to enjoy. You can get these at the reception or in your room to help you plan your safari well.

At the palace, you will be served delicious meals on time and cared for by friendly staff who share interesting stories about nature. This makes you feel at home from the first day until the last.
