À vivre

Perched at the heart of the lush Bwindi forest, in southwestern Uganda, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is far more than a place to stay: it offers an unforgettable immersion close to mountain gorillas. This award-winning, eco-responsible lodge features private cottages, family villas and luxury suites set on a wooded ridge, with striking views over the Virunga volcanoes and the Bwindi canopy.

After a thrilling gorilla trek, treat yourself to a restorative massage at the Mist Spa or set out on a walking safari through the impenetrable forest, accompanied by a passionate local guide. Every moment here is an encounter: with nature, with the surrounding mountain communities, or with yourself.

Just 10 minutes from the briefing point, with home-cooked meals, a warm atmosphere around the fireplaces, and a strong environmental commitment, this lodge is an invitation to slow down and reconnect deeply.
