Above the clouds, face to face with giants
Perched on a ridge over 2,000 meters above sea level, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge lives up to its name—a sanctuary in the sky with sweeping views over the Virunga Volcanoes and the emerald canopy of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This intimate, award-winning lodge is the highest in Uganda and provides unmatched access to one of Africa’s most humbling wildlife experiences: trekking through ancient rainforest to observe endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
Crafted from volcanic stone with soaring ceilings, handwoven textiles, and artwork by some of Uganda’s most talented artists, each private cottage at Clouds feels like a luxurious mountain chalet. Guests enjoy the warmth of a personal butler and a fireplace in every room, along with panoramic views that stretch all the way to the Congo on a clear day.
Ideal for conservation-minded travelers and romantic adventurers alike, this lodge offers more than just access to gorilla trekking—it provides a sense of peace and purpose. Community-owned and conservation-driven, Clouds is a place where luxury and legacy meet high above the forest floor.
