Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge (Nkuringo Sector)

The Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is located on the Nteko Ridge at an impressive height of 2,161 meters (7,090 ft) in the southern section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (just 300 metres away from the Nkuringo sector gate). This eco-lodge blends seamlessly into its rugged surroundings, offering sweeping vistas of Bwindi and the Virunga volcanos. All 18 rooms are designed for comfort and feature a warm bedroom, an ensuite bathroom with solar powered hot showers (and a bathtub in the Deluxe rooms) and a private living area where a fireplace flickers (except in the standard rooms). But the true luxury lies outside, on your private veranda, where you soak in the majesty of the landscape. The lodge offers two dining spaces – both serving delicious meals from home-grown ingredients and warmly furnished with fireplaces – whereas the upstairs lounge also has in-house craft shop. And the best way to rejuvenate after your gorilla trek is a holistic massage or an exclusive beauty ritual at Nkuringo’s ‘Mist Spa’.
