Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Gorilla Forest Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary
The only lodge within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gorilla Forest Lodge operates as an Abercrombie & Kent Sanctuary with ten rooms built around materials drawn from the surrounding culture. Woven banana-leaf walls and bark cloth details signal a design approach rooted in Buganda tradition, while a conservation model that channels direct income to local communities ties the physical space to the forest it inhabits.
