Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is located in Southern Bwindi in Uganda. It is remote and at over 2,000 metres above sea level, it is Uganda’s highest lodge. It sits up on a ridge above the clouds looking across to the Virunga volcanoes and the impenetrable forest that is Bwindi. Guests at Clouds stay in their own cottage. Built of local volcanic stone, every cottage has a large sitting room with fireplace, vast overstuffed armchairs, and hand-woven carpets. Each individual cottage features the work of one of Uganda’s most respected artists.
The main lodge has soaring ceilings, massive exposed wooden beams, big picture windows with endless views of treetops, volcanoes and mountains. It feels like a ski chalet in the alps. Or a stone palace in the Rocky Mountains. But with the gentle and warm welcome, the quiet dedication of the personal butlers and the smiles on the faces of virtually all the staff, this can only be in Uganda. Come and stay awhile in the Clouds… Quick Snapshot Activities lists and more detailed information can be sent – kindly contact us for this
