Nestled on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge offers a serene and exclusive escape for those seeking one of Africa’s most powerful wildlife experiences. Located near the Nkuringo trailhead, this award-winning eco-lodge is the highest in Uganda — both in altitude and standards.
Home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, Bwindi is also the only forest in Africa where chimpanzees and gorillas coexist, making your stay here even more extraordinary.
Clouds features eight handcrafted stone cottages, including two spacious family suites, each with soaring ceilings, private fireplaces, and plush beds. From your veranda, gaze across the Virunga volcanoes into Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo — a view that stirs the soul.
Inside the main lodge, cozy lounges with six wood-burning fireplaces offer warmth and conversation after your gorilla trek. Ugandan artwork, locally carved wood, and warm hospitality elevate the experience from rustic to refined.
