Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

Staying at this lodge was a delight. The lodge is also conveniently located close to the visitor center and the Batwa Community Center, making it a great base for exploring the area. The cozy wooden houses -each with a terrace facing the greenery- provided comfortable retreat after daily adventures. The dinners were consistently delicious, prepared by a master chef. The customer service was excellent, with some thoughtful touches that made the stay even better. I really appreciated the complimentary washing of a few items, as well as the boot cleaning after gorilla trekking—a small but very helpful service. A big thanks to Joan for handling all the arrangements smoothly and to David for his personalized assistance, especially in helping with the tourist-ranger "mapping" for the gorilla trek. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and well-organized lodge, I highly recommend this one!

This mid- range and comfortable lodge provides a great base for exploring the surrounding interesting areas and particularly for Gorilla Trekking and bird watching and we really enjoyed our 4 night stay here. The rooms are comfortable and each has a balcony adjoining their neighbours. The Restaurant and Bar in the main building opens onto a large, attractive terrace and garden which gives a great place to relax and view the mountains of the forest in the distance. The indigenous flowers and trees attract many birds and al fresco dining is possible when the weather permits. The food is excellent and professionally prepared, presented and served and all the staff without exception were very friendly, attentive and helpful and enhanced our time there.
