About this property
Silverback is a sliver of thoughtful luxury set in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas. Meeting these giants is a profound experience that rewards travellers who make the journey deep into the forest. We welcome you into a warm and intimate sanctuary before and after your journey into the mist. Every detail has been designed to consider your comfort while honouring your reason for coming: answering the call of this singular African experience. Silverback offers serenity before and after the wilderness calls. Spaces crafted with simplicity, passion and soul — where nature is never shut out, only softened. Each space is warm, considered, and quietly luxurious, with views that reach across the treetops and into the mist. Here, mornings begin with birdsong, evenings settle by firelight, and comfort comes with intention — not excess. You are held, not hidden. This is where you return to yourself. You will dine from spaces designed to flow outward — onto wide viewing decks that open fully to the ancient, emerald canopy of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In the Heart of the Forest, In Touch with the People At Silverback, the forest is not a boundary — it is an invitation. Beyond your room, your deck, your plate — a world of living stories unfolds. Here, Bwindi’s mountain gorillas are the undisputed stars, but the forest’s people, birds, plants, and rhythms offer endless ways to experience more. We invite you to deepen your journey, through guided experiences curated for Silverback. https://silverbacklodge.com/experiences/
