Nearby the Munyanga River, Mahogany Springs overlooks the immense and beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This forest lodge provides simple yet stylish accommodation, which is ideal as a base for gorilla trekking. Gorillas aren't the only species in the area however as there is a phenomenal number of birdlife at Bwindi, with more bird species per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world. The lodge itself is set on an open stretch of land and has been built using locally sourced natural materials, which provides the property with an edge of authenticity and a minimalistic flair.
The lodge is ideally situated near the beginning of the gorilla trekking and birding routes and excursions too. The lodge's main area is ideal for al fresco dining, with a quaint wraparound patio. There are 12 stone and thatch suites, all of which provide large en suite bathrooms and a balcony terrace that looks out upon the Bwindi treetops, affording excellent forest views. Included are a family suite and a honeymoon suite.

INSIDER TIP
"Tracking gorillas can take anything from half an hour to as many as 8 hours, however, you will always have a full hour in which to observe a gorilla family in its beautiful natural habitat - an unforgettable experience."

I understand we are in the middle of nowhere, and the hotel itself is nice; the staff is very friendly and caring. However, the food and ambiance could be better. It would be nice to have some type of lounge or relaxed music playing in the main house, especially during dinner, so it's not too quiet.
Adventure Holiday to Mahogany Springs Safari Lodge
The rooms, views, and property all were beautiful. I am not sure if we enjoyed the private terrace of our room or the terrace of the main lodge more! The staff was lovely and the meals top-notch!
