Embark in Gorilla Trekking in Uganda’s Impenetrable Forest.

Bwindi Lodge features eight stone and tile Bandas that provide accommodation nestled among the verdant landscape of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, complete with protruding terraces overlooking the bird-filled forest canopy.  The northwestern Buhoma region hosts three habituated mountain gorilla families, offering exceptional gorilla trekking experiences, while chimpanzees are also concealed within this verdant landscape.

Appropriately designated as ‘impenetrable’, this ancient forest exceeds 25,000 years in age and is acknowledged as a world heritage site due to its remarkable biodiversity.  Most significant is the refuge it continues to offer to around fifty percent of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population.  Guided tours pursue these amazing creatures, however at Bwindi Safari Lodge, a frequently visiting gorilla family may approach you directly.

Visitors may explore adjacent towns to discover the complexities of traditional Batwa Pygmy culture and engage in forest treks that are likely to showcase a variety of the 350 bird and over 200 butterfly species present in the area.  Following your jungle excursions, you may return to the lodge’s inviting bar and dining area or partake in a rejuvenating massage at the spa.
