Overview of Bwindi Lodge

Uganda, Bwindi National Park

Bwindi Lodge is an eco-lodge that overlooks the forest canopy of Uganda’s beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and specialises in gorilla-trekking expeditions. Built and run on sound ecological principles, the lodge uses natural energy sources such as solar power and controls water consumption to reduce its environmental footprint.

The Buhoma region of Impenetrable Forest has at least three habituated gorilla families that live in the thick, damp tropical undergrowth. Tracking them is quite challenging but the rewards are great. Home also to monkeys, chimpanzees and countless butterflies and forest birds, this pocket of primeval forest is one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth and has been designated a World Heritage Site.

When not out trekking through the forests of Bwindi on search for gorillas, enjoy the activities and facilities available at and from the lodge. Enjoy a tour of the tea plantation, take a stroll to the river below the lodge or head out on a hike on the Munyanga River trail or to a nearby waterfall. Spend some time at the spa for a rejuvenating treatment, followed by a local beverage from the Bwindi Bar.

Africa Safari Expert

'The eco-friendly bandas offer gorgeous views of the forest and you will want to put your feet up and take in the tranquillity. The lodge is often frequented by the gorillas and a visit to Bwindi Bar in the high street of the village (run by the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust) is recommended if you would like to experience local cuisine.'

    Loved this lodge. Situated in the Buhoma village but in a quiet garden setting behind the main road. Quite a lot of walking between rooms and the common areas. The rooms are lovely, even the standard bandas are spacious with a warm and welcoming feel. This will definitely be my preference for travellers looking for the most luxurious option in Buhoma.

    The best service and hospitality we've ever gotten in our lives . Above any other hotel we've been. The staff and people here are beyond extraordinary, their warmth and kindness is something truly unforgettable. The place is beautiful, the forest is something magical to be witnessing right beside you, the food is amazing. I truly recommend this hotel and experience. We loved the lodge, the fireplace, the warm wake up calls and the hot water bottle in our sheets.

    Volcanoes lodges were amazing. In fact, I think the Volcanoes lodge was the best place I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying myself at. Every need and want is taken care of and the views are more than amazing, its like a little piece of heaven there. The treks were great as well.
