A stunningly luxurious lodge at the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest. The views are exceptional. As stated in previous reviews, the service, the staff, meals, rooms, views are all exceptional. There is nothing to complain about this fabulous lodge in the edge of the Impenetrable Forest. Our housekeeper and butler made sure the laundry is done and folded, our morning call comes w coffee and muffins/ snacks, our fireplace is up when we return from dinner, and our dirty boots are cleaned after a hard day trekking in the forest . We could see the Virunga Mountains and several volcanos on a clear day. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest can be viewed from our terrace. While there, we also saw the active volcano from Congo . The night skies were lit up w stars and planets. There were 2 honeymoon couples staying at the lodge while we were there. Love the hot water bottles supplied every night on the bed. The nights are cooler here than lower elevation. I would love to go back again.

We love high quality accommodations and Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge did not disappoint! The food is incredible and made fresh daily, the staff (shoutout Benin and Sam) are kind, attentive, and fantastic at their jobs. If you’re thinking about seeing gorillas, come to Uganda and visit this team! You will not regret it.

We arrived January 26 for a three day stay with our main objective to go on a gorilla trek in the bwindi national impenetrable national forest. This lodge was recommended by our tour Director through gorilla o’clock. Of course we read the reviews before leaving home, and everything was as described if not better. We were greeted very graciously by the Lodge staff, and given a very thorough briefing of the lodge and amenities. We met a wonderful gentleman Isaac Who was the bartender sommelier and waiter. He went beyond all that and made great recommendations, had great conversation.and was a lot of fun to hang out with for three days. The room was absolutely amazing. We had a suite overlooking the mountains with a fireplace and wonderful large bathroom. Amos was our caretaker for the room and did a turn down every night , started fire in fireplaces , hot water bottles in bed and organized our room. After days hiking he cleaned our muddy boots and gaiters. Service was awesome and he is a very kind gentleman.. Edward hung out in the lodge and helped us identify birds has a lot of knowledge concerning that. that was a highlight of the stay can’t believe how many birds you could identify from our back porch. All the staff was very kind and the chef Milton was awesome because the food was some of the best I ever had at a resort.. we enjoyed the grounds, but the highlight was going tracking to see the gorillas. We wish we would’ve done two days of gorilla trek, something to think about when you travel so far. Experience was very authentic and we enjoyed venturing out a couple days in to the local community to interact with the locals. Everybody is so friendly. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking views, amazing rooms and very friendly staff. By far, the most spectacular accommodation we have ever stayed in: spacious, very comfortable bed, super large bathroom, plus our own butler per room! Thank you Team, especially Amos and Friday.

It is hard to put into words just how special our stay here was. The lodge itself was stunning, with 360 degree views of the picturesque mountains, volcanoes, and gorgeous lush hills. The rooms were exceptional. The staff ensured you were cozy and warm at all times in the rooms. The main lodge was comfortable and welcoming where my family always felt at home, whether you are sitting by the fire or sitting out on the terrace enjoying the spectacular meals. We were here for Christmas, where we truly felt we were at a second home thousands of miles away. The food was top tier- whether it was breakfast, packed lunches, or even snack or cocktail time. The chef went over the top on every meal and we were always satisfied! Just when you don't think it can get any.... the STAFF-- who left a lasting impact on our entire family. Incredibly warm, kind, passionate, and helpful. They went above and beyond in every aspect of our journey and they MADE our trip!!! Not to mention, the gorilla trekking was incredible. Worth the trip as we will remember it forever. You will be just as happy as we are.

This lodge is next level! The rooms, the service, the views… literally you are waited on hand and foot at all times. Rogers the manager will do anything for you, Isaac our waiter made sure we ate well and even arranged for special dishes, Innocent our driver helped arrange the most magical gorilla trek imaginable, Sam our butler made our rooms cozy even when it was chilly outside. Lots of fun activities to do during the day and the BEST massage I’ve had in years. 10 stars!

Wonderful lodge. Our room was excellent and the service was outstanding. Diana and Isaac took care of all our needs and even spoiled us. The food was by far the best we had during a two-week trip to East Africa. And the trekking to see gorillas is one of our all time favorites. Highly, highly recommend.
