We have recently released a short film that highlights some of Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust (VSPT) unique and special community and conservation projects around Volcanoes Safaris lodges.
VSPT is a non-profit organisation that connects Volcanoes’ Rwanda and Uganda lodges to the neighbouring communities and conservation activities.
VSPT aims to create long-term, self-sustaining projects that enrich the livelihoods of local communities, promote the conservation of the great apes, restore natural habitats and work with communities and institutions to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Funding is received through Volcanoes Safaris lodge guests as well as donations by conservation organizations and private individuals.
Our new partnership with Empowers Africa as our fiscal sponsor provides a simple way for contributions from US residents to be tax-deductible.

Picture perfect!
From January, the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Team have been strategically setting up camera traps to photograph the large carnivores in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.
The photos will be examined to determine the density of large carnivores within the park.
Thank you @caterinbanello and @margherita.ramelli for capturing Shan, a female leopard, whilst participating in the large carnivore census.

The Kyambura Gorge is a hidden gem.
From Kyambura Gorge Lodge, take a walk down into a magical sunken rainforest with the roar of the rushing water in the ravine, the enchanting bird sounds, surrounded by black and white colobus monkeys in the trees. We are lucky to have this spectacular force of nature in our property.
Cross the turbulent river on our handbuilt wooden walkway and visit the VSPT Conservation and Community Centre on the other side to meet the staff and learn about from the Kyambura Ecotourism Project and our partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute for chimpanzee conservation.

Volcanoes Safaris Announces May 2024 Opening of Kibale Lodge in Uganda
Volcanoes Safaris is opening its fifth lodge in May 2024. Kibale Lodge will be perfectly positioned for chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park in Uganda, one of the best parks to view chimpanzees in Africa, with a community of 1,500 chimps. This expansion complements the existing circuit of Volcanoes Safaris’ four great ape lodges and will offer a seamless safari across Rwanda and Uganda, letting guests experience the unique gorilla, chimpanzee, and wildlife of the Albertine Rift.
Praveen Moman, Volcanoes Safaris Founder, said “We are delighted to announce the opening of Kibale Lodge in May 2024 and to share with you new images and a teaser from a short film documenting the building of the lodge by our in-house construction team, led by Cyprien Serugero and John-Bosco Tukamuhabwa and supported by Head Carpenter Joseph Nsabimana and Botanist Celine Ishimwe. We are looking forward to sharing the unique experience of our Great Lakes hospitality with guests soon.”

Witness the enchanting beauty of the endangered mountain gorillas in this reel, where we share breathtaking shots that capture their regal presence. Being in their presence is an indescribable experience that transcends words, leaving you in awe of nature's magnificence.
But it's not just about their beauty; it's about their survival. These animals are facing numerous challenges, and their protection is vital. We must safeguard not only these incredible creatures but also the communities living on the fringes of their wilderness habitats. We must work alongside people - hand in hand. Nature and humanity are inseparable, intertwined in a delicate balance.
In this reel, Praveen Moman of @volcanoessafaris shares his passion for conservation and sheds light on the plight of the mountain gorillas.
Sustainable tourism is one way that we can support the conservation of these Great Apes. Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust, our non-profit arm has many projects that are focused on community conservation in Rwanda and Uganda. You can also get involved by supporting these initiatives. Share the film, educate your family and friends and get involved in whatever way you can. Their survival relies on us.

Kyambura Gorge is the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park and home to an isolated group of 30 chimpanzees - the Lost Chimps of Kyambura.
It is a tiny gorge with a very special ecosystem, wonderful wildlife and the Kyambura river running through it.
