Buhoma Community Rest Camp

Set in wooded grounds, this pleasant and well kept complex provides basic accommodation (with those all important hot showers!) and a restaurant which overlooks the forest canopy. No visitation fee is levied for staying here, unless you enter the park for gorilla tracking or walks in the forest.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to approximately 330 Mountain Gorillas (almost half of the world's total population). Bwindi is the only forest in Africa which has Chimpanzees and Mountain Gorillas co-existing. As well as hosting five other species of primate, the forest contains 113 species of mammal, over 200 species of butterfly, 360 bird species, 324 tree species and even a herd of forest elephant.

Uganda has a temperate climate all year round (25-20°C during the day and 5-10°C at night. Evenings at Bwindi can be chilly primarily due to the altitude which is just over 1,160 metres.
