Gorilla Heights Lodge Uganda – Luxury Stay near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Change your mood and discover the treasure that Gorilla Heights Lodge offers in the heart of Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. This country fills your soul with peace and happiness, washing away the worries of home. Located at the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the lodge offers true comfort and luxury, giving visitors access to the Nkuringo and Rushaga gorilla families for unforgettable encounters with the mountain gorillas.

The greenery around the lodge spreads beauty in every direction. To help preserve it, guests are encouraged to keep the environment as they found it. Instead of plucking leaves, plant a tree that will inspire future visitors as they admire the view from their rooms built on raised land.

The lodge has 15 cottages set on 12 acres of land, featuring a heated swimming pool that glows under the African sun, a spa, and a sauna for steam baths, giving guests a full sense of relaxation. The green roofs blend perfectly with the natural surroundings, creating harmony with nature.

From the lodge, you can gaze directly into Bwindi Forest with hopes of spotting a monkey even before joining a trek. Guests can also take part in the gorilla habituation experience, which allows more time with the gorillas; around four hours compared to standard trekking, which lasts less time. This activity helps the primates get used to human presence, and it is usually more rewarding during the dry season when trails are easier to walk.

Your journey begins at Entebbe International Airport, where your tour guide will pick you up for a road trip to Gorilla Heights Lodge. Alternatively, you can spend some time exploring Kampala City, known for its lively music and nightlife, or skip the traffic by flying directly to the lodge for a quicker and more comfortable trip.

Depending on your arrival time, you will be welcomed with delicious dishes and refreshing drinks before settling into your room. The rooms are kept warm with gas burners and electric heaters, ensuring comfort in every season. Guests can relax in cozy beds or enjoy a cup of tea in the indoor lounge.

Step out onto the terrace for a clear view of the green slopes of Bwindi Forest below and enjoy a peaceful moment that feels like a dream come true.
