Fly by light aircraft from Entebbe to Kihihi Airstrip (about 1 hr 45 min), then a roughly two-hour road transfer to the lodge, alternatively a long road journey from Entebbe/Kampala (8–9 hours).
Ten identically generous standalone suites of 105 m², each constructed with local techniques in greens, terracotta and clay, with a king four-poster, a large rainforest-view tub and a private veranda of hanging chairs angled for spotting monkeys, so the choice comes down to position, the suites set deepest into the canopy give the most seclusion and the best birdwatching from the deck.
Refined takes on Ugandan classics alongside international dishes, continental or cooked breakfasts before the morning trek, picnic lunches packed for trekkers or lunch on the terrace, canapés and cocktails in the boma to live folk music, three-course dinners and a weekly muchomo (barbecue) night, with vegetarians and special diets well catered for, and all meals plus premium drinks included.
Cool, comfortable clothing in greens, browns and khaki, long sleeves and trousers, sturdy waterproof walking boots and gaiters to prevent cuts, strong gloves for hauling yourself uphill, a light raincoat (it can pour even in the dry season), a fleece for cool mornings and evenings at altitude, a waterproof bag for your camera, plus repellent, antimalarials and a face mask to wear near the gorillas.
Being inside the park gates means your trek briefing is minutes away rather than an hour's drive, so you start fresh, book your gorilla permit separate from the rate well ahead as numbers are strictly capped, and note the minimum age for gorilla trekking is 15. Add the three-hour Munyaga waterfall walk, a Batwa community visit and the short stroll to A&K's women-run bike and bead enterprises.
Every stay supports A&K Philanthropy's community and conservation work around Bwindi, including building and improving schools, a safe-water-for-schools program, school feeding, a bike enterprise employing local women, the Meraki Women's Bead Project, and the Bwindi Community Hospital and Nursing School, while the 2025 rebuild used local materials and techniques and local craftswomen made the banana-leaf wallpaper and beaded chandeliers.
