I can say without a guilty conscience that this is the best lodge in Uganda. Already the journey there is worth it. You see a lot of scenery of this magnificent country. Upon arrival at the lodge, you are warmly greeted by the staff with a welcome drink as well as a moist towel. One feels immediately welcome and comfortable in the lodge.
The rooms are very spacious and offer an unforgettable view of the Bwindi National Park. I especially enjoyed the time on the large terrace directly in front of the bungalow, from where you can watch birds beautifully.
The food was also very tasty and everything was very fresh. Wyclef tries especially with the food to pay attention to seasonal dishes and also wants to involve the nearby population. Therefore, he tries to get food from local farmers whenever possible.
All in all it was really an unforgettable stay and I can recommend this lodge to everyone with the best of my knowledge. I will definitely come again!
This picturesque lodge is well situated in the hills very near the Rushaga ranger station at the start of the gorilla trails. The lodge had everything we needed - views,... read more great food and amazing staff. The beds were comfortable and hot water in the shower was plentiful. We'd stay here again
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.
