Gorilla Leisure Lodge is an intimate, luxury safari property located just minutes from the Rushaga tracking gate in the southern sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Featuring 12 contemporary, eco-friendly cottages, an open-air restaurant, and stunning views of the rainforest canopy, it offers exceptional tranquility and convenience for wildlife enthusiasts, honeymooners, and gorilla-trekking travelers alike.
The property is highly committed to inclusive hospitality, providing a smooth, paved entrance drop-off zone, a welcoming main lounge, and spacious communal areas. The lobby, dining hall, and key guest accommodations feature flat, step-free pathways crafted from local volcanic stone. While the guest rooms are thoughtfully optimized with wide doorways and accessible bath facilities, please note that due to the dramatic hillside terrain, some outdoor pathways between cottages currently require navigating natural inclines. Supported by continuous staff hospitality training and 24/7 on-site assistance, this lodge ensures a welcoming, seamless, and comfortable wilderness stay.
