Gorilla Forest Lodge, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda

A Luxury Tented Camp in

Camp Details

Sensationally situated on a hillside overlooking the jungle canopy, the newly revamped Gorilla Forest Lodge is the most beautiful and luxurious place to stay within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park itself. It is also the best-located for gorilla trekking.

Ten standalone villas are set apart in the forest, each with a private viewing deck from which you can watch monkeys, plus rare and wonderful birds and butterflies. Sunrise is breathtaking – pale pastel light, ethereal mist shrouding the trees, the soundtrack of the primeval forest waking up.

The beating heart of the lodge is an indoor-outdoor lounge bar and restaurant space overlooking the rainforest. In the evenings, our resident musician plays traditional African folk songs on a harp while guests drink sundowners and exchange gorilla tales around the campfire. Other facilities include a spa, a boutique selling locally made products and souvenirs, and the Explorer’s Lounge where you will find maps and a selection of books on the flora, fauna and culture of Bwindi and Uganda.
