INSIDE BWINDI NATIONAL PARK
A GORILLA COULD TURN UP ON YOUR DOORSTEP
THE VARIETY OF BIRDS WITHIN THE LODGE IS INCREDIBLE

Nestled right on the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda is Buhoma Lodge. This secluded and serene lodge has been designed sustainably and built using locally sourced materials. A great deal of thought has been given to the design of the lodge to ensure guests enjoy uninterrupted views, with each of the ten chalets giving guests a front row view over the forest canopy and Bwindi National Park.

Ten comfortable chalets have been carefully built from local materials. Each suite has a private verandah and enormous windows, allowing guests spectacular views of the forest canopy and the Bwindi National Park. The lounge area, complete with bar and dining facilities, offers a cosy
place to discuss the day’s activities.

The chalets offer solar powered lighting, en-suite bathrooms and a private viewing deck. The elevated bar and lounge area allow guests to rest up after a rewarding day of gorilla trekking, where they can enjoy a few drinks (from our fully stocked bar) and share their experiences with everyone around a warm and cosy fireplace.

Meals are freshly made combining local and international cuisine. Our warm and friendly staff will have you wanting to stay a little longer, especially with the complimentary post gorilla trek pampering massage!

WHY WE LIKE IT? Ideally situated within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest across from the Gorilla Trekking meeting point.

HOW TO GET THERE? Kihihi airstrip is the closest airstrip which is 1 hour and 15 minutes from the camp. The camp can also be reached by vehicle from Kampala; and there is also the option of a scenic road transfer from Kigali, Rwanda.

SPECIAL INTEREST: Trekking the Gorillas, but there is also all sorts of other wildlife to be seen.

The best times to visit are December to March and June to September. It can get very cool at night.

The gorillas are definitely the highlight. They are completely wild but have become used to seeing a few humans after years of habituation. Many of the expert guides have been involved in this process since the beginning and are able to explain the complicated etiquette involved in meeting a giant silverback. This is an opportunity afforded only to a select few, as just eight visitors are allowed to view each group every day. Tracking through dense forest with steep slopes means that participants do need to be physically fit to enjoy the track. Once the gorillas are located, spend a maximum of one hour with them before returning back to camp. Please note only children aged 15 and above can track gorillas.
