Setting

Gorilla central

On the northern fringe of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Asilia 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 chosen stays, the Asilia team will work to be in touch, on business days, within 48 hours, to help arrange gorilla permits and travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Our Favourite Rooms

Each suite at Asilia 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.

Packing Tips

A face mask is mandatory in Uganda for gorilla trekking, and you’ll also need well-worn-in hiking boots, thick socks, a raincoat, long sleeves and gardening gloves for bush clearing.

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 Asilia 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.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Asilia 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 Asilia Namiri Plains; then head to Asilia Rubondo Island Camp for three nights, before finishing in Uganda with three nights at Asilia Erebero Hills. To line up the significant travel and limited availability of flights involved in this combination, it’s best to contact us.
