Volcano View Hotel Musanze offers a comfortable, homely base for your Rwanda gorilla trekking trip. The hotel has four to five well-kept rooms, both inside and out, set in a quiet spot away from the busy town center. This makes it an easy place to rest and prepare before your trek.
The location works well as a starting point for your Rwanda gorilla safari, especially if you have not booked your activities in advance. Staff at Volcano View Hotel can help you organize tours and experiences to round out your trip.
The team is welcoming and ready to assist with anything you need during your stay. French and English are the main languages spoken at the hotel, though many local people speak Kinyarwanda as their first language. Hiring a local guide can help with translation and give you insight into local customs. While in Musanze, you can also take in local music, dance, food, crafts, and traditional performances.
Breakfast is served early each morning so guests do not miss any planned activities, including gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Trekking starts early, since guides and trackers follow the gorillas’ movements from the previous day to locate them.
If you plan to film or take photos during your trek, carry the correct filming permit. Doing so without one can raise questions with park authorities. Keep your camera flash off around the gorillas, since flash and loud noise can startle them, and avoid direct eye contact when you are close to a gorilla family. Our gorilla trekking rules guide covers this and other requirements before your trek.
