Opening June 2026: An exclusive new lodge reimagining gorilla trekking for the conscious, luxury traveler. Erebero Hills is not just a lodge. It’s a new way to experience Bwindi—for travelers who care deeply about where they go, how they travel, and what they leave behind.
Some places feel designed to change the way you travel. Erebero is one of them.
Perched on a remote ridgetop on the edge of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Erebero Hills is not simply another safari lodge—it is a place of deep stillness and staggering beauty. A place where ancient forest stretches endlessly to the horizon, where the earthy scent of rain and leaves lingers in the air, and where gorillas move through the undergrowth as they’ve done for millennia.
Opening in June 2026, Erebero Hills is a game-changer for luxury travel in Uganda—and Nandi Adventures is proud to offer exclusive early bookings as part of our signature tailor-made itineraries.
A View Like No Other
The name Erebero comes from Kifumbira, a local language spoken in the region, and means “a place to look out from.” True to its name, Erebero offers a panoramic front-row seat to one of Africa’s most spectacular natural landscapes.
Each of the lodge’s six suites, including two family villas, is positioned along a high ridge overlooking a dramatic forested valley in southern Bwindi. The views are uninterrupted and cinematic. Picture yourself waking to birdsong, drawing back the curtains, and watching mist drift through the treetops from the comfort of your bed—or your private outdoor bath.
The suites are designed to blur the boundaries between inside and out: floor-to-ceiling glass, warm wood, and locally sourced stone create a modern aesthetic that is grounded in nature. Expect minimalist luxury with thoughtful details—king-sized beds, indoor and outdoor showers, deep soaking tubs, writing desks, and private decks with unmatched views. Each suite is entirely standalone, ensuring absolute privacy.
Beyond the Trek: Life at Erebero Hills
Erebero is not just about luxury—it’s about how luxury meets meaning.
This is a place for travelers who want to go deeper. To experience gorilla trekking not as a bucket list activity, but as a personal connection to a species, an ecosystem, and a place. Located just 20 minutes from the Nkuringo trailhead, Erebero offers prime access to one of the most scenic and rewarding gorilla trekking routes in Bwindi.
But Erebero’s magic extends well beyond gorilla encounters. Here’s what you can expect:
- Immersive forest experiences: Go beyond the gorilla trek with birding excursions, forest walks, and quiet moments soaking in the natural rhythms of Bwindi.
- Golden monkey tracking: Trek through the forest to spot these rare and playful primates, found only in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, which is part of the Virunga Mountains.
- Wellness in the wild: Return from your trek to a curated wellness menu—soothing massages, outdoor baths with a view, or meditative moments around the firepit under a sky full of stars.
- Exceptional cuisine: Dine on fresh, plant-forward meals that celebrate local ingredients and global flavors. The open-air dining area makes every meal a moment, paired with excellent wines and beautiful views.
- Family-friendly comfort: With two-bedroom family villas and flexible dining, Erebero is ideal for multigenerational trips or family adventures into the wild.
Built With Purpose
Erebero Hills is the latest project by Asilia Africa, a leading name in sustainable luxury across East Africa. Every detail of the lodge—from its low-impact architecture to its renewable energy systems—has been crafted to minimize footprint and maximize positive impact.
The site sits on land leased from a local family, ensuring direct, long-term community benefit. Local craftspeople helped build the lodge using natural materials, and many of the staff are from surrounding villages. Guests will see, taste, and feel this connection throughout their stay—from the produce sourced nearby to the warm hospitality shared around the fire.
As part of Erebero’s founding vision, Asilia has also launched an ambitious tree restoration project. Native forests are being rewilded across the ridge, helping stabilize the ecosystem, restore biodiversity, and encourage birdlife like turacos and sunbirds to return. Over time, this corridor will become a model for ecological regeneration through tourism.
Why Erebero Hills is One of a Kind
There are many places to stay in Bwindi. But Erebero stands apart.
- It is Bwindi’s first true ridgetop luxury lodge, offering unobstructed forest views from every suite.
- It brings Asilia Africa’s award-winning design and sustainability ethos to Uganda for the first time.
- It offers an intimate, exclusive alternative to larger hotels—with just six suites and a high staff-to-guest ratio.
- It is crafted for connection—not just to nature, but to culture, purpose, and place.
If you’ve dreamed of visiting Uganda but have been waiting for the right place to stay—this is it.
