Newsletter – August 2008: Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge

Published: 2 Sep 2008

CloudsWe are very excited with the opening of the community lodge; it’s the first of its kind in Uganda. The other bonus is the community has been given 6 permits a day to go with their community lodge. The Uganda Safari Company is building the Community lodge and has a 15 year management agreement with the local community. Only people that are from the areas that are represented by the NCDF (Nkuringo Community Development Foundation) will able to work at their lodge, however we will be putting in a small management team to start with, that will not be part of NCDF. We have 8 NCDF members at the Emin Pasha training in all departments at the moment.

The local community had their ground breaking ceremony in March and over three and a half thousand people turned up for the celebration.Clouds Clouds

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, with the ultimate goal of protecting the natural habitat of the mountain gorilla, will also directly benefit the community of Nkuringo who have a significant stake in the venture.

Clouds is being built on Nteko Ridge, on the edge of the southern side of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Buhoma Bwindi is on the northern side. You can walk between the two areas through Bwindi Impenetrable forest and it will take about 5 hours. Driving takes about the same amount of time, as you have to drive the long way around. We are a good 1,000 feet higher than Buhoma so you are looking down over Bwindi from the lodge.

From Kisoro, the road will then climb up towards Nkuringo, which offers excellent views including the triangular peaks of the Virunga Volcanoes of Rwanda and the Congo, the Western Rift Valley and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

We have built 10 Stone Cottages with 2 of these being double-roomed family units for people traveling together. The main building with reception, dining, shop and bar area will also have six fireplaces to keep it a cozy area throughout the day. Views from the main balcony area stretch across to Rwanda and the Virungas as well as all the way across the border towards Goma in the Congo.
