The best accommodations Forêt Impénétrable De Bwindi

This very beautiful establishment has eight cottages and four villas very comfortable, clean, ecological and spacious allowing you to enjoy the panorama of the rainforest and the Rift Volcanoes before or after the gorilla tracking. Restaurant serving good small dishes. Very warm welcome and friendly service. It is also possible to organize a whole range of activities from the camp. Transfer by 4x4 conceivable.

At 600 meters above the road, this establishment was still in the finish during our journey, but at first glance, the price seemed excessive because the whole thing lacked charm. With a view overlooking the forest, the 7 rooms are aligned side by side in a large stone building. They are characteristic of sculpted (too) carved wooden furniture and walls covered with granite briquettes, a local déco soupçon. Installation of safari tents is planned.

Enjoying a magnificent view of the canopy and surrounding farmland, this ecolodge perched on a ridge is less than 3 kilometres from the UWA premises from which you can launch your gorilla tracking. The lodge has five bandas with balconies, cottages and two "nests" that dominate the site. The well-equipped and well-kept rooms, the carved wooden chairs around the fireplace where a campfire crackles at night, and the smiling welcome of the staff are all pleasing signs that the Agandi has been discovered.

Within two walls. From your terrace, you will indeed be leaning against the wall of your room and will face the green wall. From this virid ocean sometimes emerge buffaloes, elephants, chimpanzees, duikers, even gorillas, the Holy Grail... The simple and clean rooms are hung on the side of a hill whose summit is crowned by a bar-restaurant. Here, you can escape the chilly evenings by settling down near the hearth. In this room, where good food is eaten, some zoological works are available.

Founded in 2017 by an Australian woman, Yoly Phillips, Karungi Camp is popular with many travellers. Why is it so popular? For the interaction it allows with the inhabitants of Rubuguri, for its team, for its sober, clean, equipped and - compared to the rates charged on the outskirts of the park - inexpensive rooms, for its advantageous location for those who wish to discover the beauty of the region and to engage in gorilla tracking (the starting point for tracking in Rushaga is located 8 km away) and, finally, for the activities it offers.

On the plus side: relatively affordable rates for backpackers wishing to sleep close to the park, an excellent location (on the edge of the trail leading to Nkuringo and its UWA offices, located 4 km away) as well as breathtaking views of the jungle from the cottages and the restaurant. On the other side of the coin: expensive meals, recurrent dysfunctions in the rooms and, concerning the multiple activities on offer, organisational problems and sometimes excessive prices...

Located less than a thousand metres from the starting point of the muddy trails and slippery bays that cut through the jungle, Gorilla Safari Lodge is a charming establishment. Here you will find a pleasantly appointed lounge-restaurantand no less attractive chalets. The latter are duly equipped (wooden balcony, mosquito nets, safe, shower room and even, for some of them, a fireplace...) and, in most cases, colourful. The lodge offers the possibility to criss-cross the surroundings on foot or by bike. Good reception.

Arriving from Kabale, don't miss, 5 km before the UWA offices in Ruhija, the sign indicating the trail to Broadbill Forest Camp (located 1.5 km from the fork). Set between farmland and forest, this isolated camp is well worth the detour for its simple but well-kept tent safari tents, home-cooked meals made with fresh fruit and vegetables, a garden popular with chameleons, butterflies, primates and beautifully feathered birds, spectacular views and, last but not least, a smiling and knowledgeable team of birdwatchers!
