Mahogany Springs is an attractive, well-run property with vast suites, all of which are orientated to make the most of the lodge’s impressive views. The surrounding wilderness - part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - is lush, so it is a particularly good spot for birding.
Set on the banks of the Munyanga River, Mahogany Springs is one of the very best lodges in Bwindi. It provides an idyllic retreat to those who have ventured to see some of the world’s most magnificent primates. It is close to the base where you will start your hike to see Bwindi’s captivating mountain gorilla.
The seven en-suite Superior Suites comfortably sleep up to three people, and the spacious bedroom area opens out onto a private terrace. For the ultimate in luxury, the Presidential Suite offers two large en suite bedrooms, a separate lounge, and private river-view terrace. In the main building there is a cozy lounge and library, complete with a welcoming restaurant and open fire place.

Environment
Mahogany Springs believe in the importance of giving back to the country of Uganda and the environment. They run a successful tree planting scheme to offer guests the chance to offset at least some of the carbon from their trip. There is a small talk by the General Manager explaining how much carbon people use to travel and then guests are invited to plant their tree. This all takes place within the grounds of Mahogany Springs.
Community
Mahogany Springs are involved in multiple projects that benefit the community including Ride4aWoman, a project set up to enable local widows to provide for their families. The women are taught skills and gifted sewing machines plus other facilities to assist them in earning an income. The headquarters for this project is very local to Mahogany Springs and guests are able to visit if they wish. Mahogany Springs contracts Ride4aWoman to do lots of work for the property (curtains, mosquito nets, clothing, cushions, lampshades and much more).
Conservation
Gorilla trekking from Mahogany Springs Lodge directly helps fund conservation of the mountain gorillas. Rangers patrolling the mountains help to protect the gorillas from harm and ensure they are not under threat from poachers. This has seen the overall gorilla population grow from around 200 in the 1980s to over 1000 today.
