Rushaga Gorilla Lodge

Rushaga Gorilla Lodge Overview

Nestled high on a lush hillside at the southern edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gorilla Lodgeoffers an immersive safari experience just 10–15 minutes from the Rushaga gorilla‑tracking gate. Surrounded by vibrant greenery and rolling highlands, the lodge provides dramatic sunrise and sunset vistas over the forest canopy.

Part of the MBZ Group Africa portfolio, the lodge is designed to blend comfort with authentic wilderness charm. It features two main accommodation options:

1. Standard Rooms – Rustic yet cozy cottages with private en‑suite bathrooms, hot water showers, and views of the garden terrace or forest. Each room opens onto a balcony or patio, offering a serene spot to enjoy the forest vista. Free Wi‑Fi is available in public areas, and guests enjoy complimentary bottled water and daily housekeeping.

2. Luxury Cottages – Larger, tastefully appointed cottages with spacious living areas, plush bedding, private decks with panoramic views, and modern amenities. These cottages elevate the comfort level while maintaining the lodge’s natural aesthetic.

For guests seeking adventure, the lodge also allows pitching personal tents, or nearby mid‑range “havens” offer more budget‑friendly cliff‑perched cottages overlooking the valley .

Dining at Rushaga includes two on‑site restaurants and a pool bar, serving both local Ugandan dishes and international cuisine, complemented by a well‑stocked selection of wines, spirits, and beers. There’s also a full‑service spa, massages, yoga sessions, a fitness center, and a swimming pool—perfect for unwinding after a day of gorilla trekking.

With conference facilities (20–50 people), multilingual staff, and complimentary parking, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge is ideal for both solo travelers and groups.

In essence, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge delivers a seamless blend of comfort, convenience, and nature immersion—enhanced by proximity to gorilla families like Mishaya, Kahungye, Nshongi, and more.
