Retreat by Heaven in Kigali: Declared by the New York Times as one of the top hotels in the world (2019), this tiny gem is sure to impress you! Retreat by Heaven offers an innovative, curated cultural experience, along with a full menu of services and amenities you'd expect from a high-end hotel. This boutique hotel features only 12 rooms and is Kigali's first eco-friendly resort featuring solar electricity, organic toiletries, and locally crafted teak furniture. Nature lovers delight in the hotel's outdoor showers, private terraces, yoga meditation rooms, open-air fitness center, and heated saltwater swimming pool.

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge: Remote, beautiful and intimate, Clouds is a breathtaking lodge set high above the clouds at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

Guests stay in individual stone cottages with sizeable private sitting rooms complete with a fireplace, overstuffed armchairs, and art commissioned from some of Uganda's best artists.

The main lodge feels like someplace else – soaring ceilings, massive exposed wooden beams, big picture windows with endless views of treetops, volcanoes, and mountains. It feels like a ski chalet in the alps or a stone palace in the Rocky Mountains, but the warm, welcoming, dedicated personal butlers, and genuine smiles on everyone's face, make it clear that it's Uganda.

Kosher Travelers is committed to providing meals of the highest quality and under strict kosher supervision. All catering and food items are under the supervision of Johannesburg Beit Din and are dairy or parve, with meat meals available upon request.
