Asilia Africa is set to make a significant mark in Uganda with the upcoming opening of Erebero Hills in mid-2026. This new lodge, situated on the northern border of the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, represents the operator’s inaugural presence in Uganda and an entry into the rapidly growing mountain gorilla trekking sector.
Nestled within a sprawling 45 acres of reforested land, Erebero Hills will provide guests with unparalleled access to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses over half of the globe’s mountain gorilla population. Each of the eight luxurious suites promises breathtaking views featuring private viewing decks, outdoor showers, and bathtubs that overlook the stunning natural landscape.
The central lodge will boast a range of impressive amenities, including a swimming pool and deck, a pool bar, a sunken fireplace lounge, a library, and spa facilities. Guests can expect pricing to range from $1,100 per person per night during the low season to $2,000 during peak travel times.
Commitment to Local Communities
In a bid to foster local engagement, Asilia Africa has teamed up with Change a Life Bwindi, focusing on the indigenous Batwa and Bakiga communities throughout the lodge’s development. The organization has pledged to plant 25,000 indigenous trees to create a reforested buffer zone surrounding the national park. This initiative aims to enhance wildlife habitats while simultaneously supporting the livelihoods of local residents.
The architectural design of Erebero Hills, executed by Pablo Luna Studios, will employ locally sourced materials such as bamboo, stone, and rammed earth. The lodge’s structure is engineered to adapt harmoniously to the sloping terrain, featuring terraces and suspended elements that seamlessly integrate with the forest canopy.
Exciting Activities Await
Erebero Hills will cater to adventure seekers and culture enthusiasts alike, offering a variety of activities centered on gorilla trekking. In addition to this main attraction, visitors can enjoy forest walks, waterfall excursions, cultural tours with the Batwa people, and explorations of the nearby tea plantations. The lodge will also provide unique wellness experiences, including forest bathing and guided garden tours, enriching guests’ retreats with a deeper connection to nature.
