The Luxurious Mount Gahinga Lodge
Well placed at the foothills of the Great Virunga Volcanoes, on the border of Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC lies Mount Gahinga Lodge. The lodge consists of nine (09) traditional pygmy style huts, with modern conveniences such as En-suite, composting toilets, bush style showers, and Wi-Fi in the main lodge. Take in the views of Mounts Sabinyo, Gahinga, and Muhavura from this eco-conscious lodge.
Each banda is rounded to preserve the traditional, local building style, and the interiors are stylish and create an atmosphere of modern comfort alongside the adventure of being on safari. The thatched roofs are just another eco-sensitive element of this wonderful lodge.
Why We like staying at Mount Gahinga Lodge We like staying at
- The lodge is a 4-hours drive from Kigali – which makes flying in through Rwanda for a Uganda Gorilla safari a lot more feasible other than Flying into Uganda Through Entebbe which requires 9 -10 hours drive to get to Bwindi Forest.
- Boutique Style being Our style Of travel, we like to hand-pick our lodges – this lodge offers a secluded but yet homely and very opulent touch of service for small – private Gorilla Safari Experiences – something our clients love!
- Proximity to the park – We often have our clients staying at Mount Gahinga Lodge trek Gorillas in Mgahinga Park which is a stone-throw away – Meaning you get to enjoy more time at the lodge while other clients (staying at other lodges wake up at 5:00 am to drive for an hour to get to the trekking Points).
- Giving back to the Community. This is a very important aspect we never overlook! We love working with properties that give back to the locals.
