Gorilla Forest Lodge

Gorilla Forest Lodge is one of the most long-standing luxury properties in Uganda.

Following a complete refurbishment in 2025, Gorilla Forest Lodge has reclaimed its place as one of Uganda’s premier luxury safari lodges. Nestled within the gates of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, it boasts an unrivalled location for gorilla trekking, with mountain gorillas occasionally even visiting the lodge itself.

The intimate lodge features just ten beautifully redesigned standalone suites, each blending seamlessly into the rainforest.

Thoughtfully crafted using natural materials and local craftsmanship, every suite offers a private viewing deck, elegant furnishings, a spacious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub overlooking the forest, and all the comforts expected of a luxury safari retreat.

After an unforgettable day tracking gorillas, guests can unwind with a spa treatment, relax in the Explorer’s Lounge, or gather around the firepit for cocktails accompanied by traditional Ugandan music.

The restaurant showcases fresh local ingredients alongside international favourites in a relaxed yet refined setting.

Gorilla Forest Lodge also champions sustainable tourism, with its eco-conscious design and support for philanthropy projects benefiting Bwindi Community Hospital, local schools and community initiatives.

Alongside gorilla trekking, guests can enjoy guided birding, forest walks to Munyaga Waterfall and cultural visits with the Batwa people, creating a truly immersive Bwindi experience.
