Guests will witness conservation efforts first-hand, thanks to a new partnership between the resort and the campus. The resort is situated in the foothills of the Volcanoes National Park, which is one of the few remaining natural habitats of mountain gorillas.
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund works to protect and study gorillas in their natural habitat, alongside empowering the people living near the Volcanoes National Park. The Fossey Fund was established in 1967 and in 2022 it opened its first permanent purpose-built home with The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
