Bwindi Lodge

The Rooms

Bwindi Lodge offers accommodation in 9 specially crafted cottages. One of the cottages is offered as Deluxe for a family or honeymooners. The other nine spacious chalets sleep two adults with ample space for an extra bed to fit a child under 5 years. Both options benefit from eco-friendly solar lighting, insect-proof window screens, and spacious ensuite bathrooms.

The beds are a fluffy worm, and the en-suite facilities incorporate a flush toilet and spacious washbasin, with a walk-in hot-water rain shower. All chalets have an enchanting veranda, where you can take time in between activities to marvel at the gorgeous jungle blanket that sweeps over the lodge’s forefront.

The cottages are named after gorillas in the Buhoma sector. The decor is the epitome of shabby chic, featuring patchwork upholstered chairs, bathroom vanity units made from recycled tin, striped kilims on the floor, and hand-sewn quilts on the beds.

Each guest gets a personal butler, and complimentary massage in the charming Humula Forest Spa secluded somewhere on the property.

Guests have their informal tapas-style meals inspired by Ugandan dishes in the main building, which also houses the lounge and bar. Guests can make their ‘rolex’ wrap (a typical local dish) and the delicious Gorillini Cocktail, a must-have after a gorilla tracking in Bwindi. Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust set up the bar to train disadvantaged local young people in hospitality.
