The best location to stay if you want to visit Gorilla's in Nkuringo!
NetherlandsWe felt like at home. Amazing staff who was taking care of us everything. Karungi is located in the village of Rubuguri, 30 minutes ride to Rushaga gate in Bwindi. There is a local wood carver Micheal living next to Karungi and I highly recommend his works. Lovely guy. We miss all of the staff from Karungi.
PolandGreat place to stay, value for money, lovely staff and delicious food!
NetherlandsThis was a perfect place for us to stay before and after our gorilla trek. We weren't looking for a swanky lodge but somewhere comfortable and "authentic" that also allowed us to meet people and interact with people in the local community. Karungi camp did all of this. On arrival we were offered various options and we asked for a tour of the village. We went with Edwin who took us for a good couple of hours and was extremely informative. We met lots of people and were invited to play football with some of the children on the local playing field. THe pack up Rolex for our gorilla trek day was delicious - though we ended up eating it back at Karungi as we found the gorillas in less than 10 minutes! A lovely day lazing in the garden on the big comfy settees and loungers provided and more local walks. The evening by the fireside chatting with the staff, the owner and the local woodcarver and his apprentice was also a highlight.
United KingdomExcellent team and very nice, positive attitude. Very good food was prepared for us. Big rooms, comfortable beds and the very important thing: hot water in shower. We could take a shower after gorilla trekking too.
IsraelGordon the manager is amazing and will answer any questions. He leads a team of staff that are friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too small for them. I'm so glad we stayed here a couple of nights after our gorilla trek. Food was amazing and value for money. The fire in the dining area was very much welcomed in the cooler evenings. We did the ridge hike and our guide Edwin was amazing with so much local knowledge, folklore and plant knowledge. There is plenty here to help support a community which sometimes gets missed with the big all inclusive gorilla trekking lodges near by. Best shower in our travels and comfy beds in spacious rooms.
United KingdomGordon and his staff are really nice and welcoming. They are really proud of their hot shower with good pressure. Food was great and the overall stay was perfect.
