Lodge Overview
For many visitors, the most important features of accommodation around Bwindi are a comfortable bed, private washing facilities, reliable meal arrangements and a peaceful environment in which to recover after trekking.
Gorilla trekking can be physically demanding. The forest floor may be wet, trails can be steep, and trekkers sometimes spend several hours walking before reaching the gorillas. Comfortable accommodation becomes especially appreciated after such an active day.
Couples should request appropriate double arrangements, while friends may prefer twin beds. Families should verify occupancy policies and whether suitable family accommodation or extra beds are available.
Facilities & Amenities
- Days tend to begin early, particularly when guests are trekking. Evenings are generally relaxed, providing time to have dinner, discuss the day's sightings and prepare for the next stage of the safari.
- Electricity and charging arrangements can differ from those in urban hotels, so guests should ask about current facilities and carry suitable adapters and power banks where appropriate.
- Internet connectivity in remote parts of southwestern Uganda can also vary. Travelers who require constant high-speed access should remember that they are visiting a mountainous forest region where connectivity may not match Kampala or other major urban centers.
- Trekkers should carry sufficient drinking water and a packed lunch. Although some treks can be relatively short, others may extend well into the day depending on the movements of the assigned gorilla family.
- Dinner provides an opportunity to relax after returning from the forest. Dietary restrictions should be communicated before arrival whenever possible.
