The rooms are individual cottages, large and well appointed, the service is attentive and excellent and everybody is extremely friendly. It is a perfect base from going on the gorilla trek which can be a bit arduous in places but well worth while. The Rwanda trek is much easier, by the way. By far the most moving experience we had...

This is an excellent base for the sometimes strenuous activity of trekking the wonderful mountain gorillas. Clouds is not cheap but then it is thought to be the best accomodation in Bwindi and if you are going that far and can afford why settle for less. As part of the deal, we were met by our butler - Innocent at... More

Owners and staff lovely, service great and rooms only surpassed by the view. Walk around the village and meet the locals, relax with a g&t or sit by your own log fire - a truly unique experience! Only hope we get to go back at some point.

Not the easiest drive to get there, even though all we were doing was enjoying the scenery out the windows of our four wheel drive, while our driver guide navigated through the rough terrain. Once we got there however, it seemed all worthwhile. Celestial setting in the clouds, with your own private butler and housekeeper, and walking distance into the... More

We were 2 days in the hotel and everything was so perfect. To have a butler and a housekeeper only for us, 24h, made us feel a little strange...Fireplaces in the room.Services excellent.

We had a great time at "Clouds Mountain" . Spacious rooms with fire place and foods are delicious, the staff members offered the best service. We stayed 4 of the group , EminPasha(Kampara) ApokaLodge(Kidepo)SemilikiLodge and Clouds. All of them are excelent service(staff members) and facilities especially Clouds.

We stayed at 'Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge' for (only) 2 nights as part of our 3 week Uganda adventure. Upon arrival we were very warmly welcomed with a chilled towel, a refreshing fruit drink and a nice hand massage. The lodge is situated at 2.100 mtrs above sea-level and comprises 8 cottages, all built from volcanic stone. The scenery is... More

Recently we went to track the Nkuringo gorillas. Coming from QENP, it was not an obvious choice, many other groups would have been hours less drive, but it is perhaps the best hike and the only one you can see twins! Anyway, we had splurged in a big way on the way down in every high end lodge we could... More

We stayed at Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge in July 2009 as part of a 3 week African adventure. This being our first trip to Africa, and this lodge being quite new, we didn’t quite now what to expect, but by the time we reached Clouds we had been to several other lodges in Kenya and in Rwanda, some of which...

It is a wonderful wonderful place. In short, it is very comfortable, the service is friendly, attentive and enthusiastic, the food great. It is in a remote location but very convenient for the gorillas and with stunning views. It is a community project which works well for the local community. That sums it up but if you want to know...
