Dining

Forest-View Deck |  Engagi Restaurant

Inspired Flavours. Effortless Moments.

At Silverback, dining is woven into the very rhythm of your Bwindi stay — a moment to pause, relax, and savour both nature and flavour.

Our lodge has been thoughtfully reimagined to embrace the landscape. The dining experience is no exception.
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.

dining Experience

EACH MEAL IS AN INVITATION TO LINGER

Mornings begin with coffee and a generous breakfast as the mists lift through the trees. Afternoons bring casual, seasonal menus, best enjoyed under dappled light on the deck or in the cool elegance of our open dining room. As evening falls, soft lighting and natural textures create an atmosphere of understated luxury — the perfect backdrop for a long, flavourful dinner and conversation.

THE MENUS DRAW FROM THE BOUNTY OF THE REGION

Featuring fresh local produce, meats and fish, with international influences and comforting favourites. From aromatic soups to crisp salads, grilled meats, vibrant vegetarian options and indulgent desserts — each dish is prepared with care and presented with a light, contemporary touch.
Custom menus available on request (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, children’s options)

The spaces

Forest-View Deck

Open-air dining elevated above the canopy, where gorilla treks and forest walks turn into stories over lunch or dinner. This setting is a guest favourite and available for every meal. 

engagi restaurant

An airy, design-led space layered with warm woods, subtle stone textures, and hand-crafted touches.

Bar & Lounge

The ideal place to unwind, sip on expertly brewed Ugandan coffee, forest-inspired signature cocktails, fine wines, local beers, and premium spirits — whether in the stylish indoor lounge or out on the open-air viewing deck.
Perfect for a post-trek toast or a relaxed evening with the forest as your backdrop.
