SilverBack Safari Lodge

Location: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This small and cozy lodge is perched high above a valley, overlooking the dense, gorilla-inhabited forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The view is absolutely stunning, and bird watching and primate viewing are possible right from the doorway of your room. Silverback Lodge’s architectural design is simple, natural and filled with the character that GeoLodges Uganda has become known for. The seven rooms were designed using local materials, such as forest vines, sisal rope and purple slate stone, and the forest and clouds that drift by in the valley can be admired from the veranda.

The restaurant’s unique and creative menus include local and international cuisine, served in comfortable surroundings. The well-stocked Summit Bar is perfect for sharing the day’s adventures. Alternatively, you may choose to stroll through the large gardens along the butterfly and bird trails.
