Mount Gahinga Lodge

CEDARBERG RATING

Premier

Overview

Nestled in the foothills of the Virunga Volcanoes, Mount Gahinga Lodge is an exclusive Uganda adventure lodge that has the impressive backdrop of three of the volcanoes themselves. Its rustic charm creates an absorbing atmosphere of tranquility and history.

The perfect location for trekking the volcanoes, bird watching, seeing the Golden Monkeys and visiting a spending time with the Batwa Pygmies at their newly developed cultural centre. Opened by Volcanoes Safaris and designed with, and developed to directly benefit, the Batwa, this is a unique experience allowing you to learn from and mix with these people.

The main building features a rustic living space with a warm central fire that offers the ideal environment for relaxing at the end of the day, with the terrace outside and a spacious sun room adjoining the living area completing the peaceful and open style.

Guest Bandas

Each of the nine spacious bandas has been thoroughly renovated to offer unparalleled luxury in the region. Each papyrus-roofed room has a fireplace and an en-suite bathroom and each is reached by taking a short stroll through the large gardens that fill the lodge with life.

Each of the bandas are named after one of the Virunga Volcanoes and there are 2 doubles, 6 twins and 1 single.

All of the bandas are equipped with their own en-suite bathrooms with flushing toilet, double vanity, and shower with hot and cold running water. The bedroom has walk-in mosquito nets, 240v lighting (with emergency solar lamp & torch provided), and a large private veranda with excellent views.

Room facilities include a deck or veranda, dressing gowns, en-suite bathroom, hair dryer, safe and tea & coffee facilities,
