Gorilla Forest Lodge, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda

Deep in the verdant heart of Uganda lies Gorilla Forest Lodge – the only luxury lodge inside the gates of breathtakingly beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Around 1,000 mountain gorillas exist in the wild, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to more than half of them, making this A&K Sanctuary unrivalled as a luxury lodge for gorilla trekking in Uganda. Reopened in June 2025 after a complete overhaul, the 10-suite property has been beautifully redesigned in harmony with its natural surroundings. Its location is second to none – gorillas have been known to visit the grounds, and the brilliant forest rangers ensure sightings on every trek. As well as the headline-act primates, there are also guided walks through the lush and incredibly biodiverse rainforest to scenic waterfalls and organic spa treatments with jungle views, all followed by sundowners around the fire and memorable dinners in the warm glow of the dining room. Gorilla Forest Lodge also plays a vital role in saving mountain gorillas from extinction – every stay here funds A&K Philanthropy projects which support and conserve local communities, wildlife, and the Bwindi Forest itself.
