Life in Camp
Buhoma Lodge commands spectacular and uninterrupted views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The lodge features ten individually designed chalets, each constructed using locally sourced materials to blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Each chalet offers a private veranda with stunning vistas of the forest canopy, providing a tranquil space for relaxation. The central open-air lounge, bar, and dining area are elevated, offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest. In the evenings, guests can gather around the fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance to the cool mountain nights. The lodge’s proximity to the park headquarters makes it an ideal base for gorilla trekking adventures - just a short walk down the hill in the morning to start your adventure. Additional amenities include complimentary massages to soothe muscles after trekking, and the provision of essential gear such as gaiters and gloves. The lodge also offers services for special occasions, including private dining and cultural performances, ensuring a memorable stay for all guests.


Timing Your Trip
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is accessible throughout the year, but the optimal times to visit are during the dry seasons: June to August and December to February. During these periods, trails are more manageable, enhancing the gorilla trekking experience. However, the park’s rainforest climate means that rain can occur at any time, so visitors should be prepared for varying weather conditions.
