Luxury Comfort in the Mountains
The views were amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodations were comfortable, clean and food was excellent. Wyclef Rushaju is the perfect host and a wonderful guide. Gave my... read more sister and I an experience of a lifetime. Would highly recommend.
First of all, I’d like to mention the view. From everywhere you can see the lush rainforest. It’s unbeatable. We were the only ones in the lodge for 2 nights,... read more we really felt like kings. Staff was great, after gorilla trekking, they cleaned our boots.
Two minor problems I’d like to mention. At arrival, about 10 village women welcomed us by singing and dancing. I felt uncomfortable, them doing it just for us in the rain. And then of course you’re expected to give big tips which I did but it wasn’t really my decision. Next thing is that each house has 2 rooms and the walls are so thin, you can hear everything. I could talk to my kids from the bed.
Mealtimes are undoubtedly one of the main highlights of the lodge – an extravagant and mouth-watering affair! Discover the flourishing organic vegetable garden, and relish sublime farm-to-table dining with fresh produce and ingredients.
Bweza Gorilla Lodge is on the boundary line of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, close to the starting point of trekking to the gorillas. The area is in the Kisoro region in south-west Uganda.Bweza Gorilla Lodge is in a remote area and the journey to paradise is long, but eye-opening and scenic. The quickest route is by air to the Kisoro airstrip.
Guests can easily fly into Entebbe Airport (Kampala), catch a connecting flight in a small-seater plane to Kisoro, and then arrange a road transfer (2 hours) to the lodge. The road transfer will meander its way past hills carpeted with tea and coffee plantations, rural villages, tropical vegetation and exquisite, pristine landscapes. Uganda is a country like not other, and Bweza Gorilla Lodge is located in one of the most untouched regions re-known for its primate population and array of birdlife.
