Gorilla Closeup Lodge

Gorilla closeup lodge is strategically located in the southern sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, where you can easily track mountain gorillas from Rushaga and Nkuringo Gate. Built on a 40-acre plot of land that shares the park’s boundary, the lodge allows mountain gorillas, particularly the Nkuringo gorilla groups, to visit in search of myrica, eucalyptus tree backs, fans, and various other indigenous shrubs that the gorillas enjoy feeding on.

We built the lodge ecologically in harmony with nature using locally available materials. Seith Byarugaba, a local Ugandan, owns it. His grandfather was born in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and later relocated his family to the forest’s boundary, home to more than a world population of rare mountain gorillas. It was purely built by local communities using local materials to be in harmony with nature and is also managed by local communities as staff members, of which some are reformed park poachers.

The lodge is a bit of a ways from the initial gate, but the view is very breathtaking. The staff is kind and tries to make guests happy.
