The Gorilla Resort

Located near the thick, forested hills of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, The Gorilla Resort offers sweeping views from its prime mountainside position. Minutes away from the starting point for gorilla trekking, the lodge also offers comfortable accommodation, modern facilities, and a variety of activities. 

This is an ideal base for those wanting to partake in the area’s claim to fame: gorilla trekking. Five gorilla groups can be tracked from this location, meaning your chances of witnessing these amazing animals interact are relatively high. Other activities include a waterfall trail walk, bird watching, guided bush walks, game drives in Ishasha, sundowners at the lodge, and cultural visits.

En-suite safari tents are on offer, all built on elevated wooden platforms and complete with balconies offering spectacular views of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. All rooms have stand-alone Victorian bathtubs and rustic log beds. The main lodge has a lounge, bar, restaurant, and dining area. At the end of the day revel in the surrounding vistas from the deck with a drink in hand before enjoying a delicious dinner.
