Gorilla Forest Lodge has recently completed a full transformation, evolving from tented camp to a proper lodge with newly built rooms and chalets and beautifully redesigned main areas. Located within Bwindi National Park itself, just a minute from the gorilla trekking headquarters, the lodge sits on a quiet road surrounded by native forest. The latest redesign leans into this setting, letting indigenous plants grow up around the property, so birdlife and monkeys are a regular sight in the grounds, giving guests a real sense of being immersed in the forest.

The interior design carries a distinctive, warm style throughout, with neutral tones that sit beautifully against the forest backdrop and a lovely ambiance in the evenings, helped along by soft lighting and open fires. Rooms retain the character of the original camp while now being considerably more spacious and comfortable, with generously sized, well appointed bathrooms. Service has been consistently excellent since the reopening, matching the level of investment in the property. Sitting among the higher end options for the area at a competitive price point, Gorilla Forest Lodge is a strong choice for clients wanting forest immersion without compromising on comfort or service.
