The lodge consists of 14 simple but comfortable rooms, all with en-suite facilities such as a bathtub, hot showers, free WiFi and a balcony. Enjoy delicious meals at the restaurant, which even offers guests the opportunity to help prepare some typical African dishes in their contemporary kitchen. Afterwards, you can eat your meals inside or outside on a terrace overlooking the lake.

The Kibale Forest Camp offers 12 African safari-style tents under wooden structures, comfortably furnished with twin or double beds.

Each tent has a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with a flush toilet and hot and cold water shower. The bar and restaurant are situated in a beautiful wooden grass-thatched building, serving set menus but meeting any dietary requirements if informed beforehand. The open structure blends perfectly with the surroundings and overlooks a colourful garden. Early birds will feel right at home in this lush green environment, as you wake up to the melodious sounds of dozens of tropical birds with the smell of coffee coming your way!

The Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is located on the Nteko Ridge at an impressive height of 2,161 meters (7,090 ft) in the southern section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (just 300 metres away from the Nkuringo sector gate). This eco-lodge blends seamlessly into its rugged surroundings, offering sweeping vistas of Bwindi and the Virunga volcanos. All 18 rooms are designed for comfort and feature a warm bedroom, an ensuite bathroom with solar powered hot showers (and a bathtub in the Deluxe rooms) and a private living area where a fireplace flickers (except in the standard rooms). But the true luxury lies outside, on your private veranda, where you soak in the majesty of the landscape. The lodge offers two dining spaces – both serving delicious meals from home-grown ingredients and warmly furnished with fireplaces – whereas the upstairs lounge also has in-house craft shop. And the best way to rejuvenate after your gorilla trek is a holistic massage or an exclusive beauty ritual at Nkuringo’s ‘Mist Spa’.
