Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge

Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge sits at a 2161-meter (7,087 ft) altitude ridge on the southern edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with stunning views across the rugged rift valley landscape and the entire Virunga Volcanoes chain.

The 7-time World Travel Awards winner of the Leading Safari Lodge in Uganda award is an excellent base for trekking mountain gorillas in Uganda and exploring the southwestern region's adventures.

The safari lodge has eleven private garden cottages, two family-style villas, and four luxurious forest suites sitting above the steamy forest swathe and into the forested ridge slopes with distinctive elegance.

Locally sourced decor and African-styled furnishings grace the spacious rooms fitted with wood fireplaces for cold evenings. Light fills the cottage spaces through glass window walls, and spacious private viewing decks provide exotic views of the uncharted rural landscape.
