Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is a luxurious, remote, and intimate property perched high in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. It offers stunning views of the Virunga Volcanoes and surrounding mountains. Guests stay in individual stone cottages with private sitting rooms, fireplaces, and unique art commissioned from top Ugandan artists. The main lodge, with its high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and panoramic windows, creates a cozy yet majestic atmosphere reminiscent of a mountain retreat.
What sets Clouds apart is its pioneering community conservation initiative. Built in partnership with the Nkuringo community, the African Wildlife Foundation, and the International Gorilla Conservation Programme, the lodge benefits the endangered gorillas and the local community, which co-owns the property.
