Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge

Situated in the Southern region of Bwindi Park, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge offers excellent lodging and a convenient starting point for gorilla trekking in Uganda. Travelers have a variety of alternatives at this multi-award-winning eco-lodge, which offers mid-range to luxury forest retreats.

Trekking with gorillas in Uganda
In addition to gorilla trekking trips, the lodge offers walking safari activities across the agricultural area. The rejuvenating nature hike with a local guide from Nkuringo to Buhoma over the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a popular choice among many visitors. Numerous further routes encircling the resort lead you through a breathtaking area of unspoiled wilderness and nearby mountain settlements set against a stunning backdrop. For those who enjoy the outdoors and adventure, the guided walking safari is a must.
The lodge’s construction is entirely indigenous, with locally produced papyrus used for the ceiling and timber floors accented with volcanic rock. Our main supply of water, rainwater harvesting, is supported by corrugated iron sheets. Through our eco-friendly initiatives, we collaborate with clients to preserve the environment while operating “In Harmony with Nature” and with a “Carbon Neutral footprint.” We urge all of our patrons to bring water bottles so they can replenish their water supply from our main dining area.
