In Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you can stay at Silverback Lodge to gain front-row access to mountain gorillas thriving in the wild.
24th September is World Gorilla Day to raise awareness of the importance of protecting their natural habitat.
Tanya Madhvani, Director of Marasa Africa says, “For guests wanting a journey with purpose, World Gorilla Day brings into focus that seeing these extraordinary animals in the wild is both a privilege and the ongoing role of responsible tourism can play in protecting them for generations to come.”
With the hotel being close to one of the world’s most important conservation areas, the region has approximately half of the planet’s remaining mountain gorillas.
The Buhoma trailhead is near to the resort that gives an ideal spot for gorilla trekking. The day out comes complete with an expert local guide and experienced trackers.
Bwindi additionally offers guests the experience of birdwatching with over 350 bird species in the park, along with more than 100 mammal species.
After trekking, guests can experience the lodge’s spa, with treatments designed to soothe muscles in a glorious setting after the exercise of the day’s events.
Silverback lead-in rates start from USD 2,100 per room per night (based on two adults sharing) in low season and from USD 3,360 per room per night in high season, on a full-board, all-inclusive basis. *Excludes gorilla permits, park fees, activities and spa.
