We went to Bwindi National Park in March. Wile we only spend two nights there, we had a memorable stay. The staff were very friendly and informed us of all the activities that were available including a complementary message. The lodge is well situated and each hut is tastefully decorated. The bathrooms are outstandingly creative and tasteful. Beds are very... More

I agree that Buhoma lodge was in a great location for either going gorilla trekking or visiting the villaga.It does seem to merge with forest. I can't forget the monkeys scurrying around the premises.I also remember very well the fog that rolled in from the jungle. The service was excellent,and very friendly. I had a very interesting chat with the... More

Welcome here is typical of Ugandan lodges - towel and a juice - followed by a friendly "briefing" Thankfully we did not have too many steps up to our lodge and the staff carried our luggage up. Room is large with a big bathroom with hot shower behind. To the front is the balcony. The whole place does indeed blend... More

Absolutely incredible! I was quite lucky and allocated the highest hut to stay in, which had a spectacular view. The room and bathroom was immaculate, and done in a way that was in harmony with the natural surroundings. This really is a theme of the place too, you really do feel like you are immersed in the landscape whilst staying... More

Had read about this accomodation here on tripadviser and it lived up to its great reviews. I had one of the rooms, by choice, with the 69 steps. The room was lovely and clean, gorgeous bathroom and the views from the balcony were just breathtaking. The staff were attentive and spoiled me deliciously. The little things are all ways the...

We stayed at some very lovely places in Uganda and this one topped the list. It's cozy and filled with all amenities you could possibly want. The meals were well planned and delicious - kudos to the chef! The grounds are small and blend into the mountain jungle surroundings which can be quite chilly at night but small touches like... More

We stayed as part of a trip to see the very special gorillas. The lodge was tranquill, the staff were really hospitable, the food was good and the access to self guided walks, both in the park and in the adjacent community were very interesting. Very special memories. May 2009
