Wie zu Hause nur Besser! Ich habe mich in der Lodge durch die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter in den besten Händen gefühlt. Sie haben mir jeden Wunsch ermöglicht und mir das Gefühl von Zuhause gegeben. Danke an das ganze Team!

Amazing place Lodge with very friendly, welcoming staff, always available to please customers. Very beautiful lodge, wonderful nature views. Very nice rooms, well tidy and clean. An excellent opportunity to see the fascinating mountain gorillas. An unforgettable experience, for sure!

Views, views and more views We stayed at Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge after trekking through the forest along the spectacular Ivy River Trail (also arranged via the lodge and highly recommended!!). You are greeted not only with the beating of drums, but with warm smiles, genuine welcomes and some of the most outstanding views in Uganda (big claim I know!) Isabelle, the manager runs an excellent operation with Morris and Beyruth heading up the restaurant in typical Ugandan hospitality. However, a stay here cannot go without mentioning Rosemary, our dedicated housekeeper, whose friendly smile and attentiveness added so much value to our stay. Rooms are excellent, with comfy beds, warm duvets, large bathroom and a cosy fireplace. The food was great with hearty meals to recharge after a long hike and importantly they always had a cold beer on offer to see out a day as the sun set. Covid precautions were in place, with plenty of sanitizer and masks worn. The majority of the lodge is outdoor or open-plan, so we felt very safe. We had a really excellent stay and we would highly recommend a visit, not to mention the gorilla permits are currently discounted to encourage visits!

Top-notch service! We stayed there for our anniversary and the Gorilla trek. Staff couldn't have gone more out of their way to make us feel welcome. Flowers, presents, a dance and a homemade cake were the surprises for our anniversary dinner. The lit fireplace in the room and the warm water bottle underneath the blankets were the icing of the cake. What a stay! And if you get lucky you can see all the way to Congo watching the volcano erupt.

Very memorable stay and amazing hospitality We visited NBGL as a family and booked two cottages (No 6 & 7). The entire stay was very memorable. The amazing hospitality commenced at arrival and never flagged over the two days we stayed. The rooms were as luxurious as can be managed in this remote region. Hot water showers in the bathroom were much welcome. It gets chilly in the evenings and the fireplace in the rooms was lit for warmth, and a hot water bottle under the blankets came as a pleasant surprise. The entire staff was very courteous and Rosemary in particular was outstanding with her repertoire of expertise. A local children's group also performed for us which provided a good connect with the villagers. The four course supper is excellent and the wide variety of options for breakfast are good too. The approach road from the blacktop Kabale-Kisoro road is 30 +km of dirt top/murram and a four wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended.

A Magical Experience My son and I loved everything about the Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge. First, it is located within the majestic Bwindi Forest. Not only is the setting gorgeous — particularly when the mist settles in the valley below the hotel — but one feels a part of the forest which, in turn, heightens the feeling of being at one with the gorillas who live there. Next, the rooms are comfortable and designed with a simple but practical style and natural materials. As for the staff, it is exceptional. Rosemary prepared our rooms each night with a brazier in the interior fireplace and two hot water bottles in bed. Uganda is warm year-round but the high altitude of the lodge makes it coolly refreshing in the morning and evenings. The meals were hearty and delicious. We highly recommend the Nkuringo Lodge as part of your mountain gorilla experience in the Pearl of Africa.

Fantastische Aussicht auf den Bwindi Urwald Kurz vor Weihnachten genossen wir hier für 2 Tage die Aussicht, den Service und die super Atmosphäre. Hier könnte man es auch länger aushalten, um sich verwöhnen zu lassen! Auch das Essen läßt übrigens keine Wünsche offen.....

Stunning views It was raining as we arrived and the journey to this hotel was “challenging” to say the least: sliding across muddy winding road that follow very steep cliffs was an experience in itself. After a welcome drink, Jude explained the rules and our luggage was carried to our rooms. We stayed in Gahinga, a cottage with a very spacious room and tastefully decorated bathroom (the mixing of hot and cold water was VERY tricky, I gave up and went to our daughters bedroom for a shower). The view from our terrace onto the volcanoes bordering DRC and Rwanda was breathtaking! At night, you could see the volcano glowing red, spewing lava. Our daughters stayed in the nearby cottage: unfortunately, the front garden was overgrown and they did not have the same views. On our second day, after the gorilla trek, as the Sun shone across the valley, the mist slowly descended from the mountains far away and soon engulfed us, preventing us from seeing further than a few metres: again truly magical! We stayed over Christmas and as such the staff treated us to a small song and dance. Indeed, throughout the stay the staff was very attentive to our needs: offering to clean our dirty washing, our boots, lighting a fire in the evening, all as part of the free service. There was no wifi available at the time (although the website promised that there would be) and being in the mountains, there is limited connectivity to 4G. All the attention and beauty of the surroundings was however somewhat dampened down by the rather average buffet that we were served at dinner when the website promised an à la carte menu; it was also very difficult for us to get a balanced vegan meal. We also appreciate that our trek was possibly shorter than most (we were back at the hotel by 1:30pm), but contrary to other places we visited in Uganda, there was very little offered (cultural activities) to fill in the afternoons. Luckily for us, as it was Christmas, a troop of local children and mothers came to present craft, music, songs and dances. Nkuringo is a long way away from other settlements and it seems a shame to travel so far not to see more of the local community. It remains that the truly outstanding views and the service were exceptional, hence the overall rating. We would love to go back and get to know more the local community.

Travel in Covid times- very good experience My partner and I travelled to Nkuringo Bwindi Lodge in November 2020. It was my second stay. And we have to say, that we were very happy with our stay: Lodge and general surrounding: The lodge offers stunning views to the surrounding. Furthermore, there are quite a lot of renovations going on right now (not disturbing in my opinion, if you choose to travel right now). There will be a new dinig hall (looks impressive already) and a new gate. Food: Food was very good and tasty. We loved that we could choose our packed lunch and got very good Rolex. Furthermore, we were suprised with an authentic Ugandan Dinner on our last evening. Staff: Everybody is very friendly and helpful. We feeled at home and truly spoiled. Our guide was allowed to join us all the time - wich is not always the case in other lodges. We appreciated it a lot. Warm water / Room: The room was amazing. On my first stay one year ago, there was an issue with to much smoke in the room. But not this time, not at all. We got a fire in the evening (can get quite chilly, considering the altitude), a warm bottle in our beds and had warm water all the time. Considering that this is a Lodge in the mountains, this was marvellous. COVID: - All Staff wear masks - There is sanitizer in the public areas - You temparature will be checked regularely- we felt safe all the time Activities: Besides the "must do" Gorilla trekking: Hike from Buhoma or canoo lake Mutanda. Thats what we did. T here are more (f.ex. community walks) which we did not participate in. Conclusion: I highly recomment staying in this faboulous place. If you don`t mind taking a COVID test to travel to Uganda, it is the most relaxing thing you can do.

Lodge with services going beyond expectations The service of this lodge was going above what we have expected. It started with massages upon arrival, nice briefing in a reception area, all associates being always receptive for any question. The food was good. Variety as expected.
