Bwindi National Park’s Garden of Eden.
Welcome to the 8-time winner of World Travel Awards (WTA) as Uganda’s leading safari lodge and Trip advisor Traveler’s choice awards since 2015, Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge.
Found nesting on 7,000ft altitude ridge in the Nkuringo and Rushaga sector, south of Bwindi Impenetrable National park, overseeing the incredible chain of Virunga volcanoes.
This is the only eco-sustainable lodging that solely uses solar energy for lighting and natural gas for cooking and heating. The lodge also grows its own vegetables from their onsite garden. Truly remarkable, this home to 3 mountain gorillas families.
Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge provides premium serenity, relaxation, cultural inclusivity and of course adventure and these are in the form of;
Gorilla trekking with the local guides who are brimming with ancient knowledge and history of Bwindi. Canoeing on serene lake Mutanda and visiting its numerous small islands filled with uncountable bird life. After a long day of hiking and cultural exchange, guests are offered 11 garden cottages also known as chalets; hidden in the forest foliage and shrubs with locally styled furnishings of sisal and papyrus of the spacious rooms with a private view of Bwindi rendezvous.
