Bwindi Buhoma Lodge
Buhoma Lodge commands spectacular and uninterrupted views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park home to the rare and elusive Mountain Gorilla.
The original Buhoma Homestead has been completely restored and now is a top quality, intimate lodge. Situated within the National Park, less than 5 minutes’ walk from the start of the trekking point, the location of the lodge is perfect for those experiencing an amazing gorilla trek. Eight comfortable cottages have been carefully built, each with its own private verandah, allowing wonderful views of the forest canopy of the National Park. Inside the spacious cottages you will find comfortable beds, a well appointed en suite bathroom with flushing toilet and a hot shower, while some rooms also have bath tubs. An elevated lounge area, complete with bar and dining facilities, offers a cosy, comfortable environment, to discuss the day’s activities around the fireplaces which add atmosphere and warmth in the cool evenings. As part of the commitment to responsible tourism Buhoma Lodge has been designed using sustainable local materials where possible, with the emphasis being on natural products, which has, in turn, given support to the local communities and businesses. |
