Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge

Perched high above the clouds within the enchanting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, the Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is a haven that blends natural beauty with luxurious comfort. This remote retreat invites guests to experience the magic of Uganda from the cosy welcome of individual stone cottages. Each cottage is a charming sanctuary featuring spacious sitting rooms adorned with fireplaces, plush armchairs, and artwork crafted by some of Uganda’s most talented artists.

The main lodge itself feels like a fantastical escape, where soaring ceilings and massive wooden beams create an atmosphere reminiscent of a fairy-tale alpine chalet or a grand stone palace nestled in the peaks. Expansive picture windows frame panoramic views of lush treetops, majestic volcanoes, and rugged mountains, transforming every glance into a mesmerising spectacle. The lodge’s ambience is a delightful blend of old-world charm and modern luxury, graced by the warm, personal touches of attentive butlers and the genuine smiles of the staff.

What truly sets Clouds Lodge apart, however, is its enchanting story of community and conservation. Built in harmony with the local Nkuringo community and supported by the Africa Wildlife Foundation and the International Gorilla Conservation Programme, Clouds Lodge is a pioneering example of sustainable luxury. This visionary project not only aids in the protection of gorillas and their habitat but also empowers the local community, who are the true custodians of this extraordinary property.

At Clouds Lodge, every moment is a celebration of both nature and the human spirit, offering a unique blend of opulent solace and heartfelt dedication to conservation.
