Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge Bwindi Uganda

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is a beautiful, intimate 5-star lodge situated in Nkuringo, bordering the southwestern corner of the Bwindi National Park. The lodge is at 2100m with a sweeping panoramic view of the magnificent Virunga Volcanoes and the Great Rift Valley.

By Road, the lodge is approximately 11 hours from Kampala. By Air, Daily scheduled flights take 1 hour 15 mins and fly into Kisoro airstrip followed by 2 hours drive to the lodge. Charters can easily be arranged as well. The closest Major Airport is in Kigali, Rwanda (6 hours) while Entebbe (12.5 hours).

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge has 7 en-suite large cottages built of local volcanic stone. Each one has a large sitting room with a double-sided fireplace, vast overstuffed armchairs, hand-woven carpets, a private verandah, and comfortable bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.

There are 5 double cottages and 2 family cottages (each with 2 private bedrooms and en suite bathrooms). The lodge has open views abound of the valley and the majestic Virunga volcanoes. Often one can see the volcanoes glowing red in the night sky.

There is a dining area, bar, and outdoor fireplace. Great, fresh food, much of it grown within the lodges’ organic garden. Probably the most comfortable lodge in the Bwindi area. The main lodge feels like someplace else – soaring ceilings, massive exposed wooden beams, and big picture windows with endless views of treetops, volcanoes, and mountains.

It feels like a ski chalet in the Alps. Or a stone palace in the Rocky Mountains. Children of all ages are welcome at the Lodge but they must be aged 15 years and above in order to track the Gorillas. Children’s activities can be arranged whilst adults are tracking.
