Gorilla Leisure Lodge

Gorilla Leisure Lodge is a sumptuous Lodge located in the Rushaga gorilla tracking sector of the chilly Bwindi Impenetrable forest national park.

It is enormous, with a sizable living area, and two bedrooms, each with a bathroom and strong water pressure. The suites also feature an outside terrace where you can spend quality time with loved ones. If you are seeking for a spot for a family-friendly hotel to travel with little children, you will be blown away by them.

Luxury Single Cottage

Each of the 7 single rooms of the lodge’s cottages is tucked away in a peaceful area of the jungle. Thus, it allows visitors to have an uninterrupted connection with nature. Their balconies stand out as a perfect spot to relax while holding a book in one hand and a hot cup of coffee from Uganda in the other.

The rooms are roomy and have good ventilation so that you may enjoy the pristine freshness of the forest. You will be provided with a hot water bottle at night to warm your bed.

Luxury Double Cottage

The fact that everything is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail is one of the things that draws customers back. This is evident in everything from the exquisitely woven ceiling to the way the food is displayed when ordered in-room. They (the rooms) are perfect for folks who value complete seclusion.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast in the morning or traditional sundowner cocktails at our bar. In the dining area with a view of the forest, indulge in fresh food made with regional ingredients. Enjoy a well-made cocktail while relaxing in a day bed at the stone-built bar with stunning views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest’s deep, misty jungle.

Allow us to welcome you for spectacular luxury gorilla safaris in Uganda with a team of devoted staff, a relaxing aromatherapy massage, or a trip to learn about the Bakiga and Batwa Pygmy cultures through performances, seminars, and village tours. The Gorilla Leisure Lodge is the perfect place to give in to the untamed, age-old fascination of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to the critically endangered mountain gorillas.

Our restaurant goes above and beyond what is meant by “eco-friendly. Each piece of décor is unique and colorful.
