PACKAGE: Expert Africa (020 8232 9777, www.expertafrica.com) Virunga Lodge, Rwanda Virunga Lodge's spacious verandas frame one of Africa's most amazing views. Located high on a ridge, the steep drive up to reach this lodge is rewarded by 360° views, with vistas across the Virunga Mountains in one direction and over Lakes Burera and Ruhondo in the other. The lodge has outdoor decks – perfect for relaxed candlelit dinners – and the stone-walled chalets, with chunky wooden furniture, are very comfortable.

Each is very private, yet all have amazing views of the Serengeti’s endless grasslands, and a spectacular view of either the sunrise or sunset. The surrounding plains are particularly a hotspot for migrating herds of wildebeest between July and October, although there are excellent densities of game resident all year round.
