The lodge is situated in the heart of the Nkuringo local community. This provides a fantastic base from which to go mountain gorilla trekking and enjoying the birdlife of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The lodge also allows its guests to experience the rich and vibrant culture of the communities that surround it. Thanks to the altitude of the lodge and the cool evenings, the presence of mosquitoes is very rare.

Bwindi Forest

After breakfast at the lodge, you proceed on your gorilla-trekking experience in the park.

As names go, there's hardly a more evocative African destination than the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. This swath of steep mountains covered in the thick, steamy jungle is just as magnificent as it sounds. The 331-square-kilometer World Heritage Site-listed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of Africa’s most ancient habitats, even surviving the last Ice Age as most of the continent's other forests disappeared.

Later, return to Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge.
