| Remembering Dian Fossey at Virunga Lodge |
|
| On 02 March we celebrated the opening of the new Dian Fossey Map Room at our Virunga Lodge. This stunning space pays homage to the conservationists and explorers of the Virunga volcanoes from 1870 to 1985 through a series of specially researched panels. In addition to an educational space, this stunning room will provide Virunga Lodge’s guests with a secondary lounge, space to welcome groups and lecturers, and a venue for private dinners to celebrate special moments. |

| Batwa Settlement Developments at Gahinga |
|
| After acquiring land near Mount Gahinga Lodge, the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust is moving ahead with building a settlement for the local Batwa community. Currently the trust and our architectural consultants are working with the community to draft plans for residential structures that meet the needs of the community. We expect that the settlement is ready by late 2017. Stay tuned for more updates on this very exciting initiative! |
