There is no better place to host a birthday event than Tchegera island. Its warm climate, incredible views of active volcanoes, and exclusive access for you and your friends make it a truly enchanting place to celebrate turning a year older or reaching another significant milestone. Not only will this beautiful island be all yours for the day, but we’ll lay on everything you need to make it a truly memorable occasion.

The foundation of Tchegera island was born many millions of years ago from the belly of Mother Earth, before growing into a towering volcanic peak. Today, only the summit of the long-extinct volcano rises above the surface of lake Kivu, forming a cradle-shaped paradise that is the ideal location for your baby shower. Teeming with nature and surrounded by life-giving freshwater, what better place could there be to celebrate the formation of new life than on Tchegera island?

Surrounded by lush vegetation and the crystal-clear freshwater of lake Kivu, honeymooning on the crescent-shaped Tchegera island offers a post-wedding experience like no other. The views of nearby Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira provide a glimpse of a landscape forged by the union of subterranean tectonic plates, while twinkling diamonds on a cloudless night are an awe-inspiring spectacle to behold with your nearest and dearest. With 3-day and 5-day honeymoon packages available, a romantic trip to Virunga will provide memories to last you both a lifetime.

Treat yourselves to the greatest wedding gift of all by hosting your big day on Tchegera island, one of DRC’s national treasures. Not only is this paradise a pristine and truly romantic place to tie the knot, but it will provide your guests with a day to remember thanks to views of the Virunga massif, active volcanoes and idyllic turquoise waters. Decorations, entertainment and everything you need to make the day special are included.

There are many national treasures to be found in the DRC, but none quite as exquisite as Virunga’s rare mountain gorillas. These intelligent and social creatures are found only in Virunga mountains and the nearby Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and can be visited by Congolese nationals every Saturday with the help of a trained guide. Book a trek into the jungle and observe one of humankind’s closest cousins in its natural habitat.
