Bwindi Lodge overlooks the primeval Bwindi forest home to gorillas, monkeys, chimpanzees and birds. Tracking gorillas in the so-called ‘impenetrable’ forest is a magical experience. Bwindi Camp is very close to the park entrance.
The tented camp that was there previously has been replaced by a newly built stunning eco-lodge with eight bandas and a lovely thatched dining and relaxation area.
Clients can spend the day on the terrace, which juts out into the forest, mesmerized by its exotic sounds watching primates and birds in the canopy. The walk to the river through regenerated bush has been carefully nurtured as a buffer zone and is magical. It is a favourite haunt for the gorillas and they often sleep at the lodge!
The lodge is an hour’s flight from Entebbe, a long drive day’s drive from Kampala or six hours’ drive from Kigali.
