    Kibumba Tented Camp is composed of 18 traditional safari style tents, all of which contain en-suite bathrooms, running hot water and flush toilets. The electricity is supplied by Virunga Energies’ Matebe hydroelectric plant, which provides a permanent source of power. Plugs across the camp are standard EU round two-pin power outlets.

    Beyond gorilla trekking, visitors can take part in nature and birding walks in the forest that surrounds Kibumba. A number of endemic bird species call the Virungas their home and a troupe of Golden Monkeys has also been spotted regularly in the area.

I have worked for Virunga's tourism team since 2015, learning the trade across a number of the lodges; which led to my promotion to manager in 2019. I love working for Virunga as the organisation has offered me a lot of training; not just in tourism but also in scientific disciplines, allowing me to develop my knowledge of both the Park and tourism activities. Not only that but from a personal perspective, the regular income that this employment brings has allowed me to get married and now support my wife and out children.
