Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is situated in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest which is home to a population of somewhat 330 mountain gorillas (gorilla beringei). This is roughly half of the world’s total population! Interestingly, Bwindi is the only forest in Africa where chimpanzees and mountain gorillas co-exist – well worth the time and energy it takes to get here.

The lodge comprises of eight stone bedrooms with two of these being double-roomed family units for families or couples traveling together. The main building, with reception, dining, shop and bar area, has six fireplaces to keep it cozy throughout the day. Views from the main balcony area stretch across to Rwanda and the Virungas as well as all the way across the border towards Goma in the Congo – absolutely magnificent!

Each room has its own cosy fireplace which is just what you need following a long day tracking the gorillas. They each have all the necessary comforts required to make you feel like this is a second home.

The main lodge offers soft and plush finishes with turned wood, and commissioned artwork from Ugandan artists adorn the walls throughout.
