Clouds Mountain Gorilla Luxury Lodge
This Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is one of the best luxurious accommodations in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in the southwestern Uganda region, and can be accessed both by air and by car, where you can choose to use a scheduled or chartered flight from Entebbe Airport to Kihihi airstrip or travel by safari vehicle from Kampala or Entebbe and drive through different homelands with several stopovers as you encounter the beauty of Uganda, our motherland. Just know that travelling by car might be a long journey, but quite an awesome experience in a lifetime. However, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge offers perfect and uninterrupted views of the Virunga Volcanoes as well as scenic landscapes with the Bwindi canopy.
The lodges sit on a forested ridge close to the Bwindi entrance gate, and they rank over eight spacious cottages built from volcanic stone with rewarding views of the Volcanoes Park of Rwanda and across the border into the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the glow of Nyiragongo Volcano can be seen on a clear night.
They have cottages which are warm and welcoming to every guest, meaning each cottage features a bedroom, a separate lounge and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
More than that, the cottages have nice outdoor verandahs provided with comfortable chairs where you can relax in your free time as you enjoy the unforgettable vistas of the forest below. The blazing fireplace is also provided inside the lodge, which creates a cosy glow in the cold evenings.
All meals are prepared using the freshest local ingredients and served near a roaring fire in the dining area and in the privacy of your stone cottage.
However, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is positioned within easy walking distance of the trail, where guests can set off for their incredible mountain gorilla trekking adventure. Other activities to engage in apart from gorilla trekking include guided forest walks and birding expeditions, as well as encounters with the surroundings. You can also visit the local community and enjoy a glimpse of their traditional life.
The lodge has comfortable cottages built of volcanic stone with big sitting rooms, vast overstuffed armchairs, double-sided fireplaces, large bathrooms and private verandas, personal butlers and delicious food from our organic vegetable gardens.

What we love about Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge
They are good at preparing delicious homemade cakes, which they serve to their guests right on their private veranda by their personal butler each afternoon.
They give a relaxing foot massage right after your gorilla trekking expedition.
Visitors can browse through the beautiful artworks displayed throughout the lodge. They are also good at commissioning, as they book a Ugandan artist just as a special offer, mainly for their guests. Just know that Cloud Mountain Gorilla Lodge is even beyond being a lodge because of their comfortable bedrooms and facilities that look like some of the big hotels in the city, while lying in the midst of the jungle.
