Nkuringo Gorilla Campsite

Nkuringo-Bwindi Gorilla Lodge

Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge is a safari lodge in southern Uganda that sits 2161 meters (7,087 feet) high on Nteko Ridge, overlooking a stunning section of the world-renowned Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The ridge offers an excellent view across the Kashasha River Valley to the forested hill known as 'Nkuringo' and the harsh Rift Valley terrain, with the entire Virunga Mountains peaks providing a stunning backdrop.

The Nkuringo region of the forest is home to four Mountain Gorilla families, and the Lodge serves as a convenient starting place for the fantastic gorilla trekking adventure. The Lodge offers panoramic views of the famous Virunga volcanoes, which stretch across the escarpment into the Albertine Rift Valley in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla resort, originally Nkuringo Gorilla Camp, has grown organically over the years from a campsite in 2007 to a fully-fledged resort, and was crowned 'Uganda's Leading Safari Lodge' by the World Travel Awards in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.

The resort is proud of its green credentials and runs as a carbon-neutral resort through a variety of initiatives such as solar energy and rainwater harvesting. To decrease the usage of plastic in the Lodge, we supply water in jars and urge all clients to bring their own water bottles to replenish while dining.
