Is the Buhoma Lodge for Me?

Buhoma Lodge stands as one of only two accommodations situated directly within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. This property commands spectacular views over the forest canopy, placing you just steps away from the gorilla trekking departure point. The elevated central lounge, bar and dining area creates a cosy gathering space where a fireplace provides warmth during cool mountain evenings.

Ten chalets each feature private verandas that offer uninterrupted forest vistas. The accommodations blend comfort with eco-friendly design, featuring solar lighting and natural bathroom amenities. The lodge provides a complimentary spa treatment to help you unwind after your gorilla encounters, while the open-air restaurant serves multi-course meals prepared from fresh local produce.

With over 350 bird species recorded in the surrounding forest and regular visits from L’Hoest’s monkeys to the gardens, wildlife viewing begins the moment you arrive. Buhoma Lodge perfectly suits first-time gorilla trekkers, wildlife enthusiasts and couples seeking an authentic yet comfortable base for exploring.
