Welcome to Agandi Lodge, nestled on the edges of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest hills in the Ruhija sector, one of the four entry points to this renowned national park, celebrated for its majestic mountain gorillas.
Ruhija is located in the highland Rubanda District in southwest Uganda, characterized by its steep slopes and diverse weather patterns.
The area experiences two main rainy seasons: heavy rains from March to May and lighter rains from September to November, with dry spells in between.
The main dry season runs from June to August, and a shorter dry period occurs from December to February. Average temperatures are around 18°C during the day, dropping to about 10°C at night.
Perched at 2300 meters, Agandi Lodge offers a 360° panoramic view of the stunning landscape, including the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, verdant hills, and the volcanic chain spanning Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Volcanoes National Park Rwanda, Virunga National Park).
Our eco-lodge uniquely boasts a 180° panoramic view of the primary forest and the volcanoes. Upon arrival, our dedicated team will warmly welcome you, ensuring your stay is both unforgettable and feels like home.
