The legendary Gorilla Forest Lodge has officially reopened in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, ushering in a new era of sustainable luxury in one of the world’s most biologically rich regions. Set deep within the misty cloud forests that shelter more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, the reimagined lodge features 10 elegantly designed, palm-thatched villas that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings.
Originally established in 1993 as a mobile tented camp, Gorilla Forest Lodge has long been a cornerstone of conservation in Bwindi. Its redesign honours that legacy while elevating the guest experience with thoughtful touches and eco-conscious design.
Staying with purpose
As part of the Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP) portfolio, every stay at Gorilla Forest Lodge directly supports local community initiatives and ongoing efforts to protect endangered mountain gorillas. The lodge continues to play a critical role in ensuring the survival of this iconic species by funding projects that link community development with conservation outcomes.
Gorilla Forest Lodge has not only redefined the standard for accommodation in Bwindi—it has reaffirmed its position as the most meaningful place to stay for travellers seeking both comfort and purpose.
