The lodge is up on a ridge, overlooking the volcanoes (sometimes at night you can see the red glow of the live peaks in the Congo). Cottages are made of volcanic stone; each has its own sitting room, a little fireplace and a personal butler.

While gorilla tracking is the main activity, there are a number of other things to do: hikes, visits to the local Village and the Batwa village, relax or have a massage in the spa.

Gorilla Tracking

Gorilla tracking is the highlight of a trip to Clouds, and for many it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A truly unique wildlife encounter combining wilderness, wonder and awe.

The tracking can take anywhere between 2-8 hours and requires a degree of fitness and physical ability.

Weather is unpredictable, the terrain can be challenging and the memories will be long lasting!!
