Gorilla Safari Lodge sits comfortably at the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, a primeval forest and lush jungle region in south west Uganda. This national park is home to wild gorillas, forest elephants and 23 species of bird endemic to the area.
Rooms have solar-powered lighting, en-suite bathroom with hot and cold water and flush toilets. Each unit is designed to look like stand-alone log cabins that blend in with the surrounding rainforest, ensuring that the lodge does not look out of place in its wild surrounds.
The main lodge area houses the dining room, a relaxation lounge, spa treatment room and a quaint nook where the bar is situated.
This remote lodge comprises 18 individual units (sleeping 45 in total) each with private wooden balconies overlooking the wilderness.
