About Gorilla Heights Lodge
Gorilla Heights is a luxury "Cloud Lodge" that blends modern architecture with African heritage. It is the first lodge in the region to offer a heated swimming pool, which is a significant selling point given the chilly altitudes of Nkuringo. The design uses local volcanic stone and expansive glass walls. It caters to high-end trekkers who want to combine the physical challenge of gorilla trekking with top-tier wellness facilities, including a steam room and sauna.

Everything You Need to Know
Is it close to the trekking start point?
Yes. It is just a few minutes' drive (or a short walk) to the Nkuringo Sector headquarters, making it one of the most convenient luxury bases for trekking the Nkuringo or Bushaho gorilla families.
Is the pool really heated?
Yes. This is a rare luxury in Bwindi. The pool is heated to a comfortable temperature, allowing guests to soak their muscles after a long trek, even in the misty mountain weather.
What is the "Silverback Suite" experience?
The Silverback Suite is the lodge's flagship room, offering the most expansive 360-degree views, a larger lounge area, and enhanced privacy, making it the top choice for honeymooners.
Can I see the volcanoes from the lodge?
On a clear day, the lodge offers spectacular views of the Virunga Volcanoes, including Sabinyo, Gahinga, and Muhabura, which creates a stunning backdrop for sundowners.
How is the road access from Rwanda?
Many luxury travelers fly into Kigali (Rwanda) and drive approximately 4–5 hours to reach Gorilla Heights, as it is often faster than driving from Entebbe.
