Very close to the national park where the gorilla trek will begin
CanadaThe staff was very sweet and the room was cozy. Good value for money.
DenmarkThe staff were excellent as was the food. We enjoyed a lovely good value 3 course dinner when we arrived and a good wholesome breakfast in the morning of our trek. We opted for the packed lunches which were also very good and plentiful. The lodge staff accompanied us to the UWA briefing to help ensure we were put into a gorilla group of our choosing. We saw the Katwe group, including a 4 day old gorilla. Incredible! It was so good to stay here after the trek too and enjoy some drinks with fellow travellers and recount our experiences of the day. So many of the commercial private tour companies ship people in and out for the day that they miss out on what Buhoma has to offer.
IrelandBeautiful place, a very special and relaxing atmosphere. The room is gorgeous and the view and feeling you have siting on the patio - priceless. All the negative points from the reviews are sorted out - there is the electricity generator, hot showers, working wifi, cold drinks.... Excellent value by all means. Perhaps a fire place for the cold evenings would make it even better, but it was perfect without it as well! Thanks for making my stay in Bwindi so special!
NetherlandsDickens was the man of our holiday! So friendly, helpful and nice-unbelievable! The rooms are clean and the lodge is surrounded by a really nice area-perfect for gorilla trekking. Breakfast - perfect! Thank you so much. Geri&Stephi from Austria

SpainWir waren 16 Tage in Uganda als Selbstfahrer unterwegs und haben viele Unterkünfte kennen gelernt. Aber diese Unterkunft war die beste die wir erlebt haben. Sie liegt direkt im Buhoma Dorf VOR DEM EINGANG zum Bwindi Park, so dass man zum Haupttor zu Fuß gehen kann. Der junge Manager der Unterkunft war jederzeit präsent, sehr engagiert und hilfsbereit. Am Morgen der Gorilla Tracking hat er uns bis zum Ausgangspunkt begleitet und uns in allen Details noch super beraten. Und das alles freiwillig!!! Vielen Dank dafür. Sein engagierter Umgang bleibt unvergesslich. Auch kulinarisch kommt man hier zum Genuss. Alles in Allem: Ein perfekter Aufenthalt in einem perfektem Ort. Absolut empfehlenswert!
