Completely rebuilt in 2025 and managed by Marasa Africa, Silverback Lodge sits perched on a ridge high above the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, offering arguably the finest views in the sector. Just minutes from the Buhoma gorilla trekking trailhead, the lodge features 12 luxurious “Nests” — each a private sanctuary with king-size beds, panoramic forest-view windows, a personal butler, and your own circular plunge pool overlooking the misty valley below.

The design blends contemporary industrial-modern style with natural stone and wood, creating a striking aesthetic that sets it apart from every other property in the region. Guests arrive to a dramatic entrance corridor featuring wire art crafted from recovered poaching snares — a powerful symbol of conservation woven into the very fabric of the lodge.

Beyond the rooms, Silverback offers panoramic indoor and outdoor dining with a signature gorilla bust sculpture, a stylish illuminated bar, expansive wooden decks with fire pit gathering areas, and the “Wellnest” — a dedicated spa sanctuary reached via an impressive stone stairway alongside a natural waterfall. Whether you’re celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla encounter or simply soaking in the forest canopy from your private plunge pool, this is Bwindi at its most refined.
