Volcanoes Safaris<\/a>, the pioneer of gorilla and chimpanzee ecotourism in Uganda and Rwanda since 1997, proudly celebrates the 25th anniversary of its award-winning Bwindi Lodge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overlooking the primeval Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and with stunning views of the forest canopy, Bwindi Lodge is one of Africa\u2019s unique lodges. From its beginnings as a simple camp in 1999, it has evolved into the leading luxury gorilla safari lodge in Uganda, with ten elegant hand-built bandas with personal butler service.<\/p>\n

Gorilla Interpretation Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

In celebration of this milestone, a Gorilla Interpretation Center will be built at the lodge in 2025, where guests can learn about gorilla conservation and research in partnership with two of Volcanoes Safaris\u2019 key conservation partners: Gorilla Doctors<\/a> and Conservation Through Public Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ugandan-born founder, Praveen Moman said \u201cWe are delighted to be celebrating this remarkable journey of Bwindi Lodge.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the only ecotourism company to be signatories to the UN Kinshasha Declaration in 2005 on protecting great apes, our long-term commitment to gorilla conservation is central to our ethos and vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Contribute a minimum of $5000 to the Gorilla Interpretation Centre and be recognised as a benefactor.<\/p>\n

Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust<\/a> is honoured to be recognised for the impact of its unique community and conservation projects neighbouring all Volcanoes Lodges.<\/p>\n
