Accommodations Guide · Uganda
Wilderness Eco-Lodges & Gorilla Havens
Sleep close to nature, from misty mountain ridges to the banks of the Nile.
Uganda's accommodation landscape is uniquely shaped by its rich biodiversity. Staying here places you in the heart of raw nature, where the sounds of the jungle form your nightly lullaby.
In gorilla-tracking sectors like Bwindi, eco-lodges sit on high ridges facing the ancient forest canopy. In savannah parks like Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth, riverside camps offer views of hippos and elephants visiting the water right below your veranda.
We partner with vetted, community-conscious lodges that prioritize sustainability, employing local guides and using solar energy to minimize their ecological footprint.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge (Nkuringo Sector)
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’.
