Buhoma Lodge
A forest-view lodge near the Buhoma trailhead, with full-board dining, massage, family chalets and easy gorilla trekking access.

Your permit is tied to a trekking sector — so the right lodge is the one nearest your gorilla group. Here are hand-picked stays across Buhoma, Rushaga and Nkuringo, from budget to luxury.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has four trekking sectors — Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo. Because your gorilla permit is issued for a specific sector, the best lodge is simply the closest one to your assigned trailhead.
Why the sector matters: a good lodge in the wrong sector can mean a long, pre-dawn drive across the forest on trek day. We confirm your permit sector first, then place you at a lodge nearby — so your morning starts calm, not rushed.
