Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge

Accommodation is in 8 standard bandas and 2 deluxe bandas, each banda named after a gorilla. Butler service is included in each room, and there are en-suite bathrooms with a walk-in shower, and a private veranda with awesome views of the forest on your doorstep. 

The main building has a lounge area centred on an open fireplace, a bar and restaurant, and a common viewing deck. There is a spa built into the forest just off the main building. The food at Volcanoes is a cut above the rest, and because most travellers passing through the lodge will be doing a gorilla trek, they know exactly what you need before, during and after your trek. 

Even if Bwindi was not home to the mountain gorilla, its remoteness, natural beauty and enthralling biodiversity would attract visitors. But it is those magnificent great apes that have made Bwindi Uganda’s single most important tourist destination.

Beyond the gorillas, Bwindi offers some fantastic forest walks, the wildlife is staggering in its breadth and ranges far beyond just the gorillas, and spending time with the people of Bwindi, learning their history and relationship with the forest is captivating.
