Located on a forested ridge near the entrance to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge offers a unique experience with its eight spacious cottages constructed from volcanic stone. From here, guests can enjoy spectacular views extending to the Virunga Volcanoes in Rwanda and even across the border into Congo, where the Nyiragongo Volcano glows on clear nights. Each cottage at Clouds combines warmth and comfort, featuring a bedroom, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a separate lounge area. Outdoor verandas with comfortable chairs provide an ideal spot to admire the breathtaking views of the forest below, while blazing fireplaces create a cozy ambiance as evening descends.

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is not just a place to stay but also a conservation success story, a partnership between Wildplaces, the Africa Wildlife Foundation, and the local community of Nkuringo. Guests become part of this larger conservation effort when they stay at Clouds.
