We
recently
had
the
opportunity
to
stay
at
ICHUMBI
GORILLA
LODGE,
and
it
was
an
unforgettable
experience.
Nestled
amidst
the
lush
landscapes
of
right
on
the
edge
of
Uganda
impenetrable
forest,
the
lodge
offers
a
truly
immersive
encounter
with
nature.
The
staff
was
warm
and
welcoming,
making
sure
every
need
was
met.
The
lodge
itself
boasts
comfortable
accommodations
with
a
rustic
charm,
and
the
gorilla-themed
decor
adds
a
unique
touch.
The
highlight,
of
course,
was
the
proximity
to
the
gorilla
habitat.
Waking
up
to
the
sounds
of
the
forest
and
having
the
chance
to
embark
on
gorilla
trekking
expeditions
was
a
dream
come
true.
The
guides
were
knowledgeable
and
passionate,
enhancing
the
overall
adventure.
One
thing
to
note
is
that
the
journey
to
ICHUMBI
GORILLA
LODGE
involves
a
challenging
off-roading
drive.
The
rugged
terrain
adds
an
element
of
adventure
to
the
trip,
but
it’s
essential
to
be
prepared
for
a
bumpy
ride.
The
remote
location
of
the
lodge
is
a
double-edged
sword,
as
it
provides
an
authentic
and
secluded
experience
but
requires
some
effort
to
reach.
Due
to
the
hard
off-roading
nature
of
the
drive,
it’s
recommended
to
have
a
sturdy
vehicle
and
a
sense
of
adventure.
And
what
we
mean
by
this
make
sure
if
you’re
hiring
a
tour
company
that
they
have
a
heavy
duty
off-road
vehicle.
Preferably
with
air
condition.
We
double
check
that
we
got
a
very
nice
Land
Cruiser.
This
part
of
the
journey
might
not
be
suitable
for
those
who
prefer
smoother
rides.
However,
once
you
arrive
at
the
lodge,
the
breathtaking
views
and
unique
experiences
make
the
challenging
drive
well
worth
it.
Overall,
ICHUMBI
GORILLA
LODGE
is
perfect
for
nature
enthusiasts
and
adventurers
who
are
willing
to
tackle
a
rough
drive
in
exchange
for
an
authentic
wildlife
encounter.
The
memories
and
stories
we
gained
from
this
journey
will
undoubtedly
be
cherished
for
years
to
come.
