Setting

Gorilla central

On the northern fringe of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Asilia Africa’s Erebero Hills blends beautifully with its ancient setting. Treks bring the rainforest’s famed mountain gorillas into view, and close-to-camp nature walks showcase its abundance of butterflies and birds. And though your surroundings may be wild, base is anything but, with glass-fronted suites perched above the valley, private viewing decks, a floating outdoor pool and soothing massage set-ups as your ensconcing frills.  

Once you’ve booked your safari stays, the Asilia team will be in touch within 48 hours to help arrange gorilla permits, travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Each suite at Erebero Hills comes with the same stilted setting, cosseting interiors and private furnished deck that watches over the forest’s surrounding valleys and tea plantations. If you’re travelling as a trio, there are options for triple bed set-ups.

Poolside

Twining between tea plantations and jutting out from the viewing deck, a small heated pool floats above the valley, edged by sunloungers and open from sunrise till sunset.

Spa

Aromatherapy and traditional treatments (including an African wood massage) can be arranged around camp and in your suite between 8am and 8pm.

Children

Erebero Hills welcomes children aged five or older. For some activities, such as gorilla trekking, the minimum age is 15 years old; younger Smiths will need to stay at camp, supervised by one of their adults.

Sustainability efforts

Asilia is a B Corp business and sustainability sits at the core of their safari offering, with camps designed to have minimal impact, and every operational choice rooted in reducing harm. This starts with the camp build itself, using locally sourced, natural materials.  Across all safari operations they minimise waste, prioritise renewable energy and respect the wilderness. The primary power source in their camps is solar, waste is weighed, segregated, and recycled, emissions are tracked, and Scope 1 carbon is offset via REDD+ projects. At Erebero Hills, an ambitious reforestation project around the camp aims to deliver an accessible forest for the Batwa people, who are no longer allowed in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This will create sustainable livelihood opportunities for local communities both during the planting phase, and for years to come.

Hotel restaurant

Expect farm-to-fork dining that showcases seasonality and is proudly low on food miles. A commitment to sustainability and a celebration of local, indigenous ingredients underpin Asilia Africa’s approach to cuisine across all camps. 

At Erebero Hills, breakfast is served in the lounge and consists of fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, freshly squeezed juices, baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and wraps. But if you're staying in camp, you also have an option to start your day with hot dishes à la carte. 

Across all Asilia Africa camps, the menu changes by the day; at each meal, there’ll be a choice of starters, mains, sides and desserts, with vegetarians as well served as meat eaters. If you have food preferences or dietary requirements, the camp’s kitchen team will be happy to adapt dishes to suit. 

Hotel bar

You won’t find a bar as such at Erebero Hills, but drinks of all varieties can be ordered from the main lodge. If you’d like a nightcap to accompany your bedside panoramas, staff will be happy to bring something to sip straight to your suite.

Last orders

Rather than working to scheduled hours, meals fit around your plans and staff are happy to flex to meet your wishes.

Room service

Available 24 hours: you can order drinks and snacks to your suite; meals, too, can be arranged chez vous.

Worth getting out of bed for

Erebero Hills shares its enviable Bwindi Impenetrable Forest setting with over half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas, meaning treks to spot these great apes typically top itineraries. The rest of this rainforest’s wild residents include forest elephants and antelopes; while nature walks are set to bring its smaller species into sight. Learn about the land’s conservation with a reforestation walk and talk; roam the valley’s verdant tea plantations with a tour and tasting; or, visit the forest’s local Batwa communities and learn the traditional art of beading, weaving and candle making.

Primates star in your Asilia safari when you combine three nights at Erebero with three nights in Tanzania’s Rubondo Island, where the headline act is forest chimpanzees. Because of the lengthy journey involved to reach Rubondo, begin with three nights at a Serengeti camp, such as Namiri Plains; then head to Rubondo Island Camp for three nights, before finishing in Uganda with three nights at Erebero Hills. To line up the significant travel and limited availability of flights involved in this combination, it’s best to contact us. 

Local restaurants

You’ll feast on the spectacular scenery of Uganda and enjoy your fill of safari adventures, but other than this, you can expect all your dining to take place either in camp or arranged by your hosts out in the forest.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this high-spec safari stay in Uganda and sorted through their hundreds of photos, a full account of their East African break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Erebero Hills in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest… 

Set to open its doors in 2026, Erebero Hills may be Asilia Africa’s newer opening but its enviable setting in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest has quite the history. Dating back some 25,000 years, this today-Unesco-listed land hosts over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, and your camp’s talented guides have many a sustainable trick up their sleeve to secure sightings during dedicated treks.  

But these great apes share their forest’s heritage with the indigenous Batwa people, who now collaborate with Erebero to host community-led experiences. The native word for ‘a place where you can see far’ inspired the camp’s name — and with its glass-fronted, stilted suites and private viewing decks, it’s a moniker that’s certainly well deserved. From your central lodge, an outdoor pool floats above weaving tea plantations, and spa treatments are set-up to gaze over this mystical, time-honoured expanse.
