Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
We loved our stay at bwindi forest lodge. The host and his team were so lovely and welcoming. The food was excellent and it’s only a few meters from the start of the gorilla tracking! A nice touch were the hot-water bottles they prepared for the beds in the evening. Everything was very clean and the host helped us wherever he could! We highly recommend supporting the smaller lodges in the area!
Bwindi Forest Lodge is conviniently located within 5 minutes walking distance to the UWA Infocenter from where you start your Gorilla Tracking. Paul and his team are very helpful in every aspect, the best service you can imagine. Paul went out of his way to get the latest infos for road conditions and which route is best to take for us as self drivers.
Food was delicious and plentyful. The hot shower after a long track was such a relief. We highly recommend Bwindi Forest Lodge!
Our host was exceptional. He took care of all our needs. Although we did not book our gorilla Trek through this lodge, our host escorted us to the meeting area and stayed with us until we began our trek. The gate to the park was just down the hill.
The food was wonderful. The soups were hearty and the homemade breads were delicious.
Our room was adequate and comfortable. The covered sitting area outside the room had a nice view and was most comfortable.
The staff was the best without a doubt, friendly and devoted to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you Pol, Emily, Atulipe and everyone in the lodge!!!
Food and views from the room were also amazing.
