Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

I loved everything about the place, The lodge is very well organized, with beautifully maintained premises and a breathtaking view from the restaurant and the cottages. The food was excellent, with a good variety at breakfast and very tasty dishes overall.excellent service. Everything was well arranged, and the atmosphere made my stay truly memorable.

We stayed for 3 nights to do gorilla trekking. We had asked for the most quiet location and were given Villa #5, which was great because it had a private path to it and was all by itself. The Villa had all we needed for a comfortable stay and came with free entertainment in the afternoons from the resident monkeys while we enjoyed the porch swings. We did not book through A & K yet did not feel we were treated any differently than guests who did. We were happily surprised to receive personalized water bottles for the trek. They also loaned us gators and walking sticks. They took great care of our driver including feeding him in the same area where the guests eat. This was a nice touch. The drivers work hard and deserve to be treated well. This was our first experience in an A & K property and will likely look for others for future trips around the globe.

When we checked into the Gorilla Forest Lodge we thought it was the wrong property. A major renovation has changed the look - in a big and beautiful way. Instead of tents there are now spacious and modern chalets. Service is impeccable, the food delicious, and the setting unbeatable, especially if you plan to go gorilla tracking. Michael, our butler, kept our room spotless and even cleaned our hiking boots - so well in fact we thought he'd gone out and purchased new ones. We had a wonderful 3 night stay!

Staying at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp in Bwindi National Park, Uganda is not just a safari lodge experience, it’s pure luxury woven seamlessly into the heart of Bwindi. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was beyond impeccable, discreet, intuitive, and deeply personal. The staff anticipate your needs before you even think of them, making every moment feel effortless. The tented suites are an oasis of refined comfort, balancing exclusivity with the raw beauty of the forest. Dining is exceptional, with every meal crafted to fine-dining standards yet infused with a sense of place. What makes this property truly remarkable, however, is the intimacy with nature, waking up to the mist, hearing the forest come alive, and knowing gorillas could be just steps away.

From the moment we arrived at Gorilla Forest Lodge, we knew we had found something special. Renovated only 2 weeks prior to our arrival, the lodge strikes a perfect balance between luxury and harmony with its breathtaking natural surroundings. The design is tasteful, modern, and warm, with beautiful touches that show a deep appreciation for both comfort and the local environment.

We just returned from a magical stay in the Pearl of Africa, Uganda! We can not recommend enough the Gorilla Forest Lodge. The photos don't do it justice--it was a once in a lifetime experience. The highlight, for us, was the close proximity in the national park for gorilla trekking. The lodge thought of everything! We had custom water bottles (a nice touch!), gators for our trek, and thoughtfully packed lunches for our trek day and safari day to Queen Elizabeth National Park. The staff truly made the visit for us. Adam was the best in helping us with clean laundry/clean boots and Rogers made sure all our excursions and drives were top notch. We also were taken care of with our food allergies/preferences. The food was delicious and the grounds were breathtaking with critters all around you (in the best way!).
