Gorilla Forest Lodge

Deep in the verdant heart of Uganda’s breathtakingly beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable Forest lies Gorilla Forest Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary. Recently reopened in June 2025 after a complete overhaul, the 10-villa lodge has been beautifully and eco-consciously redesigned in harmony with its natural surroundings, making it far and away the most luxurious place to stay in the national park. It is also the best-located – gorillas have been known to visit the lodge, and the brilliant forest rangers ensure sightings on every trek. The lodge features an elegant, eco-conscious 10-villa luxury hideaway, sensationally situated on a hillside overlooking the jungle canopy. Each standalone villa offers a private viewing deck for observing monkeys, rare birds, and butterflies. The heart of the lodge is an indoor-outdoor lounge bar and restaurant space overlooking the rainforest, where a resident musician plays traditional African folk songs in the evenings.
