CLOUDS MOUNTAIN GORILLA LODGE, BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST

CLOUDS LODGE COMMANDS STUNNING VIEWS

Perch on a forested ridge, Clouds Lodge commands stunning views that stretch all the way to the Virunga Volcanoes of Rwanda. The lodge itself was built in partnership with the local community with the goal of protecting the habitat of the endangered mountain gorilla. Guests can observe these rare primates at a close distance on exciting gorilla trekking excursions, with forest walks and birding expeditions also available. You’ll also have time to simply unwind amidst the relaxed surroundings, indulge in massages and enjoy trips to the local community.

Guests are accommodated in eight cottages, each crafted out of local volcanic stone and adorned with the paintings of Ugandan artists. With cosy fireplaces, overstuffed armchairs to sink into and private butlers on hand, they provide a welcome retreat after a hard gorilla trek.

The main stone building is equally inviting with its soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams and sheltered veranda from where you can admire the sensational views. Dining is another highlight, with meals prepared using fresh local ingredients and produce from the organic garden.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91³Ô¹Ï – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91³Ô¹Ï – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
