Camp Details
Set within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to more than half the world’s remaining population of mountain gorillas, the iconic lodge has been beautifully reimagined for a new era. The palm-thatched 10-villa retreat, nestled seamlessly in its lush cloud forest surroundings, takes sustainable luxury to another level and firmly re-establishes Gorilla Forest Lodge as the best place to stay in Bwindi.
The updated lodge uses natural, locally sourced materials and showcasing the best of Ugandan artisanship the lodge is a masterclass in low-impact design. A free flowing open-sided lounge, bar and dining space decorated in shades of pale terracotta, with high-quality furniture and artworks forms the beating heart of the lodge and provides a calm and earthy retreat from the lush wilderness outside.
The Explorer’s Lounge has books, maps, even replica gorilla bones to give guests a deeper understanding of the creatures they have come to see; while the spa has an extensive menu of restorative treatments after days spent in the wild. At sunset, a campfire becomes the gathering place where guests can drink cocktails and exchange gorilla stories, to a soundtrack of live African folk music.
