CLOUDS LODGE
Uganda
Clouds Lodge: Our ViewClouds lodge has to have one of the most amazing settings of any of the lodges we work with. Located high up into the hills the lodge commands views over the entire region and is a magical little place. A real favourite in the office here due to its unpretentious charm and links with the local community, people do need to know that the advantage of the location comes with a slight negative – it’s a hard walk back up to Clouds after a long days gorilla trekking! The rewards of making the trek however are one of the most charming hotels we work with. Clouds gets a 5 paw rating due to its charm and character above all else. One of the best locations and a great little lodge, what Clouds lacks in luxury it makes up for in sheer charm. A lovely little place! Clouds Lodge: Fast Facts$500 per person per night Our Rating

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is situated in Nkuringo with a panorama view of the Virunga mountain range and the Great Rift Valley. The Bwindi Forest has a great variety of birds and animal wildlife. The services at Clouds Lodge allow guests to feel at home but while indulging in a luxury environment. You may also likeUganda
Sanctuary Lodge’s Gorilla Forest Lodge, is actually run by the luxury travel company Abercrombie and Kent. The lodge has a fabulous location with the local gorilla group literally looking into clients rooms on a number of occasions. Gorilla’s peeping into your rooms cannot be guaranteed to every client, but the guarantee of A&K’s excellent service is there. A great lodge to explore the area from and a great lodge for clients who, after a potentially long gorilla trek, do not want to face climbing up the hills to Clouds lodge, the only other top end gorilla lodge in the park.
Rwanda
Just like the nearby competition, Volcanoes Virunga Lodge has one of the best views over this exceptional scenic region. Run by the famous Volcanoes group, who run many top trips throughout Uganda and Rwanda, Virunga lodge is slightly more affordable than nearby Sabyinyo and yet still offers a good level of service and overall accommodation. Long the best lodge in the area, Sabyinyo how now taken Virunga’s crown and pushed a great lodge down into second place. We are fans of them both but considering the quality offered at Sabyinyo for a little extra, Sabyinyo takes the mantle as no 1 gorilla lodge.
Rwanda
Sabyinyo is Rwanda’s leading gorilla lodge. Located approximately three hours from the capital Kigali, Saybinyo Silverback Lodge is a stunningly located property with views over the Virunga Volcanoes range and the Parc National des Volcans. Arguably the finest gorilla lodge anywhere, this lodge is run by the famous Kenyan safari group Governors who operate some of the Masai Mara’s finest safari camps. Service levels and location are the best in the area by far.
