Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge ★★

📍 Edges of Southern Sector of Bwindi N.P, Rushaga gate, Bufumbira

"When you walk to your lodge it feels like you are in tree house. At least that’s how I felt where my lodge was. Middle of Bwindi forest. Lush view from balcony, you can see the forest and if you’re lucky you see elephants, rooms are nice and beds have mosquito net, bottle of water in the room, towels in bathrooms, hot water takes time to heat up, you have to turn it on and wait for couple of minutes to heat the water. Breakfast is order night before, they have a menu with selective options and you can order one, two or three options, pancakes and eggs are delicious. There is always tea on table in lobby to drink. Also there is a bar in the lobby where you can order any drink you want. Staff put hot bottle water in your bed at nights to keep it warm, it’s very nice. However sadly when water gets cold middle of night it gets cold. I wish they put extra blankets in rooms for people that need cause blankets on bed are thin for cold weather. Trash bin in bathroom would be necessary. No trash bin in bathroom, only one in bedroom. Staff are super friendly and kind, in the evening if you need a hand to walk at dark night to your room they walk with you with flashlights. Enjoyed our stay very much!"

Bwindi Orugano Lodge

Bwindi Orugano Lodge ★★★

📍 E Nyabwishenya, Bufumbira

"Great lodge, with stunning views, set precipitously over the forest. The room and amenities were comfortable, the manager / host / cook charming and gregarious, and the food hearty and wholesome. I wanted to try Ugandan Kombucha, he sent someone out to get some for me - awesome service. As an added bonus it's 5 minutes away from the nearest gathering point for gorilla trekking. Ticked all the boxes."

Golden Monkey Guest House

Golden Monkey Guest House

📍 Mutanda Road, Bufumbira

"Very welcoming place but a bit run down in the rooms and overall building. Food not ideal but served with a smile. We were on our way to the Nkuringo park so a quick stop on he way out. More like a 60's block than a hostel but staff all happy and kind and doing their best"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge
9.6 (40 reviews)

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★

📍 VPH7+5RG, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gate, Bufumbira

"Super comfortable lodge! Perfect for gorilla trekking. Delicious food & super personable staff! Rooms are gorgeous— can’t rave enough about the balconies! WiFi is pretty spotty but this is to be expected up in the mountains. Would stay here again for sure! Massages in the room are available too."

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses
10 (39 reviews)

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses ★★★

📍 Hospital, Bufumbira

"I went with the University of Connecticut Global Medicine Team. The setting is beautiful with birds awakening us every morning. The breakfasts were superb with fruit, eggs. French toast,native honey, warm rolls coffee and tea. The support from staff was excellent with help in cleaning rooms and laundry. The rooms were spacious and comfortably furnished (mosquito netting for all beds). The Stone House has a library, fireplace, comfortable seating; it is a pleasant gathering place. The gardens are spectacular. For the group of physicians working in the adjacent hospital and nursing school this guest house could not have been better."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge
9.8 (11 reviews)

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge

📍 UWA Rushaga Road, Bufumbira

"Honestly, staying at the Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Waking up to the breathtaking views of the mountains and forest every morning felt surreal, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. What made the stay particularly special was the incredible team Everyone was so kind, genuine, attentive and welcoming, and they always made sure we felt at home. Their warmth and hospitality transformed the beautiful lodge into an unforgettable place to stay."

Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge ★★
"I loved my stay here! The staff are incredible! Do they sleep?? The food is fresh and delicious. There was 97 steps to my tent from reception- but the exercise allowed me to indulge in dessert. The tent was beautiful and clean. Huge bathroom with jungle views. I loved spending time on my porch watching the monkeys. The hotel will organize a local at a moments notice to do a community walk to a nearby Batwa-Pygmy community for $20. Highly recommended it if you are physically fit. It was a bit cool at night - I loved the cozy hot water bottles they put in the beds at turn down. Highly recommend this gem. Bring money for tips - the staff work so hard."

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★
"The hotel is simply amazing! You will have the best view of the forest and in 5 minutes drive you arrive at the place where the Gorilla trekking starts. The accommodations are very spacious, clean and comfortable! The food is delicious and the cooker can make anything you like. Lastly, the hosts were fantastic. All of them were really kind and helpful, making us feel at home. They even made us a delicious welcoming cake and sing a traditional song welcoming us. I never before saw such attentive and caring hosts. I recommend this place 100%!"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★
"A lovely place to stay for gorilla tracking at Bwindi. The rooms were very comfortable, but the highlight was the staff, who were exceptional. It was my father's birthday, and to mark it they baked a cake. The kitchen staff all formed a conga line and sang and danced as they brought it in after dinner. We were very touched. That combined with the gorillas made it into an unforgettable day."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge
"This lodge is out of the way up an extremely steep and rocky road (track). Once you are there the view is stunning but we were unable to enjoy it from our deck because we were located next to a building site (a new set of rooms at the lodge) so there were electric power tools in use all afternoon. The rooms are reached via steep and uneven steps (which when we left were slippery from rain and in total darkness). We were overcharged ridiculously for drinks and when we queried the bill, we were fobbed off. The best part of our stay was our housekeeper who was genuinely helpful and went out of his way to take care of us. Unless you are fit and a non-drinker (who likes scary roads that add unnecessary time to each trip), stay elsewhere."
