Such friendly staff and great food. This is honestly one of the lodges near Bwindi Forest with the best customer care. I was impressed by the hospitality of the entire team and especially our server 😊😊😊. They do have laundry services and you will be surprised how soon your gorilla tracking sweaty dirty laundry comes back. The lodge has the best laundry guy in town 🤗. Thank you guys. Our stay was colourful

Thanks to Abraham and the whole Mahogany Springs team for the amazing stay! I can’t recommend enough this welcoming lodge with the beautiful bandas in the sacred Bwindi forest, great food and impeccable staff! I will not forget the dinner gatherings at the main lodge area as well as the gorilla themed poems and heating pads waiting for me at the room before sleep! I will definitely come back :)

Abraham, Sipprian, Michael and all the staff were fantastic and looked after us very well. We enjoyed our stay for two nights and would highly recommend this lodge. We will be back in the future with the rest of the family. They food and service was also fantastic.

Mahogany Springs Lodge is 5 star in every aspect and recommend it as the #1 choice for anyone in the area. The lodge, cabins, and grounds are very beautiful, the staff and service are the best I've experienced in the 25 countries in which I've traveled, the food is excellent. We felt so well cared for (the cleaning of boots and gaiters after our trek, hot water bottles to warm our bed were way beyond expectations). Every staff member was so genuinely friendly, welcoming, helpful, I believe, truly representing the founder's vision and his respect for this land and people. We wish we could have stayed longer. Make sure you request a Cultural Village tour, which includes the school, visiting with Henry the coffee/banana gin maker, the Batwa village, and two amazing women's centers.

Fabulous location at the edge of the National Park. Luxurious individual lodges with verandas overlooking the beautiful valley. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great food and service. Hiking boot cleaning and nighttime hot water bottles a definite bonus! Highly recommended.

A perfect and luxurious escape into the wilderness of Uganda for our honeymoon. The staff and accommodations were clean and thoughtful and the service unmatched. They will ensure you are fully prepared for your gorilla trekking experience and can make sure your needs are met with transport, lunches and a hike that matches your capabilities. Chef and Manager Suberi was great, along with Ciprian and Abraham who always greeted us with a smile and a glass of wine when we returned from our trek. Our driver William ensured we got where we were going safely and was very friendly and helpful.

We had a fantastic four day stay. The setting is beyond beautiful. The gorilla trekking was minutes away. But what stands out the most is the service and care. Staff is very kind and eager to help. They take your hiking boots and clean them after each trek without even asking for it! Surprise fleece lined hot water bottles in bed at night waiting for you were luxurious. And the food and drink was amazing. A five star experience all around!

What a wonderful peaceful spot. Needless to say the gorilla tracking was fabulous. The service throughout at the lodge was outstanding. But the highlight for me was being cared for by guide/driver Justice. He is an expert birdwatcher, generous with his time and knowledge. He even borrowed some binoculars for me from a friend and we walked around the local area on a damp afternoon and saw birds I would never have spotted never mind identified on my own. His care and attention made it the stay I wanted it to be which was all he wanted. Thank you Justice.

This is a beautiful property, pictures can not do it justice. The grounds is lush and full of birds, the huts are all so comfortable and it's the best feeling to sit on the balcony facing the forest and look at the rain pass by after a long day of gorilla tracking. The staff is so friendly, the waiters are even very knowledgeable about the birds. Very close to the park entrance.
