Very good Lodge in Nkuringo, and good service, Beautiful Safaris Uganda.
Visited in february 2024
What an amazing place to stay. The staff are warm and welcoming, and you feel like part of their family once you arrive. Our deluxe room was spacious and very comfortable. The lodge sits towards the top of the valley, so you get some great views.

The fire in the room during turn down service and early morning coffee / breakfast call is wonderful. We never had a need during our stay that wasn't met.

Some of the challenges of the lodge include the incredibly bad roads going to the lodge (not the lodge's fault!). But if you have trouble with bumpy and rough roads, going up north might be a better bet. But we really enjoyed our stay as it felt a bit more authentic and slightly more off the beaten path.

The food was more homestyle cooked rather than fine dining, but flavors were solid and we never waited long for anything.

And enjoying the breath from the jungle

The place is so nice only that the road leading to that area isn't good.

We had the best stay ever here. This is as good as it gets! Will never forget it and cannot thank the team enough. Florence at Head Office was so very helpful to us throughout the lead up and our tour. And we were upgraded also. If there is 6 star hotels this is it, 5 star and then one extra for the incredible team. Special thanks to Wesley and Diana and our brilliant driver Innocent. This is all before mentioning the gorilla experience. Outstanding and life affirming, thank you.

I visited in December and had a wonderful experience. The warmth, hospitality and attention to detail made the stay all the more special. The team were exceptionally friendly and it allowed the guests to relax, share experiences with each other and make new friends along the way.
Highly recommmend for the gorilla experience

We stayed for two nights while touring through Uganda as a group of friends at the end of November 2023.

The lodge is set in a fabulous location with a magnificent view of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP on one side and Virunga mountain range on the other. The Nkuringo entrance to the park is just a few minutes away. The Rushaga entrance is about an hour's drive away.

The team was welcoming, friendly, well-organized, and incredibly attentive, with a lot of attention to the details. The rooms are spacious, with a private fireplace, which is lit every night.

The cherry on top is the excellent chef preparing the delicious food and the fabulous bartender ready to make any drink you like.

Thanks a million to the whole team for making our Ugandan experience even more unique than it already was. We hope to see you again!

P.S. The shoe cleaning service after the gorilla tracking is only one of the small details that make the difference.

belle adresse
cet établissement de style colonial (très anglais) est très bien situé, avec des vues imprenables sur la forêt impénétrable depuis les jardins communs.
Les cottages sont très grands et confortables, le nôtre n’avait malheureusement aucune vue… Il fait froid dans ce coin la nuit et les bouillottes fournies sont très appréciées !
Le restaurant propose une bonne nourriture, service très agréable.
En fin d’après-midi, sur le parking à l’entrée de l’hôtel, petit spectacle de danse et chant proposé par les Batwa (pygmées) suivi par la vente de leurs objets artisanaux.
Endroit agréable pour séjourner avant d’aller voir les fameux gorilles de montagne.

An incredible lodge with the most amazing accommodations. Nestled at a perfect location we had the time of our lives. Our host, Friday, was amazing and was so tentative to all of our needs. I suffered from altitude sickness and he did everything he could to help and to check on me. Truly one of a kind service.

WOW. Blown away. One of the best suites I’ve stayed in ever. And I’ve stayed in top hotels in 65 countries.

They staff blew us away at every turn.

18 of us were there for 7 nights. It has raised my expectations of how to run our COO Alliance events now too.

Although we came to Bwinda for the gorillas, a stay at Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge was an experience by itself.

We could not get enough of the view every and the staff was absolutely delightful.

The food was very good. They were also very accommodating for vegan dietary requirements in our group (which was very tasty!).

The massages were heavenly and got us recovered for the next day’s hike.

Overall: highly recommended to make the most out of your gorilla adventures!

Neuveriteľne milý personál, úžasné ubytovanie, očarujúce prostredie, fantastický servis, doslova rodinné prostredie, veľmi chutná strava. Oáza pokoja a oddychu po vyčerpávajúcom treku za gorilami. Tanečné a hudobné vystúpenie miestnych školákov ma úprimne dojalo. Môj TOP cestovateľský zážitok, ktorý zostane navždy v mojej pamäti. Miesto kam sa chcem vrátiť!

We loved this place. they looked after us so well. we had a very long day with gorillas, came back wet, muddy and exhausted. someone brought us our room key, then hot drinks. our boots and gaiters were taken away to be cleaned. we felt very much cared for. we could only stay 2 nights but would have enjoyed longer.

World Class Lodge, Services Team, & Gorilla Trekking Experience

A perfect, life-changing experience made possible by the world class team and lodging at Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge - from planning/reservations to journey from/to Kigali to their new world class Luxury Forest Suites to their warm, professional, and impeccable services (think “home away from home”). There are none better than NBGL when it comes to trekking mountain gorillas in the quintessential African jungle.

This stay was the absolute highlight of our honeymoon in East Africa. The hotel is absolutely stunning, the views out of this world and of course the gorilla trekking is a once in a lifetime opportunity. But what really made this hotel the best we've ever experienced were the staff. Wesley, Amos, Emma, Maggie, Eva to name just a few made us feel so special and welcome, we will cherish these memories forever. We were even presented with a cake and song/dance for the last night of our honeymoon with a gorgeous table covered in flowers, staying here was the best decision we made. Weebale, we will be back!

A magical place with the most magnificent views. This alone would make for a great accomodation. But what's even better is the always attentive and friendly staff. Especially our housekeeper Amos and our butler Eduard made sure we never lacked anything. Much the opposite, they knew what we needed when we hadn't even thought about it yet. Exceptional. Loved our stay and would recommend it to anybody looking for a home away from home as a base for gorilla tracking or other activities in the Nkuringo region.
By the way, food is great, too. If anything, it can be a bit much.
