This luxurious camp is the only one within the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (UNESCO World Natural Heritage) in Uganda and is the ideal base for gorilla tracking. The starting point for gorilla tracking in Buhoma can be reached in 5 minutes on foot from the exclusive camp.
Enjoy maximum comfort after a spectacular visit to the last 450 mountain gorillas - almost half of all remaining animals of this species worldwide - from Uganda in the middle of the jungle. It has already happened that one of the habituated gorilla families of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is crossing the luxurious camp. The comfortable, near-natural lodge offers breathtaking views of the Rukigo Highlands with its mountain and rainforests.
The exceptional luxury camp can be reached with a small plane from Entebbe with a flight time of about 1 h and 45 min over the Kihihi airfield and a drive in the SUV of 40min. Your personal driver of the Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp awaits you upon arrival.
There are only eight exclusive tents with personal butler service at guests' disposal. The exclusive tented chalets with wooden floors are in harmony with nature and allow a lot of privacy. The tents boast high-quality amenities, including comfortable king-size beds, work desks and an authentically furnished en suite shower and bath overlooking the jungle. The comfortable tent-Chaltes gives through their open construction the feeling to be in the middle of the breathtakingly beautiful nature.
At the romantic campfire you will feel the sound of Uganda. The music legend of Buhoma "Warren" with his Ugandan "guitar" will enchant you, as well as pictures of the "legend" Warren in various stages of life on the walls of the main house.
