Almost over 90% of materials used in setting up this Property is local and this makes it unique and environmentally friendly. The staff are very warm, dedicated and perform their duties with confidence and passion, a sign that they really enjoy and love what they are doing. I love the manager's zeal to always go an extra mile to give... More

We came here to see the gorillas, which meant this lodge was in the perfect location. You can literally walk to the starting point from the lodge (note: when getting gorilla permits, ask for the Rushegura Group as that is the family that is closest to Buhoma and will save you A LOT of time in finding the gorillas). They... More

Loved Buhoma Lodge!!! Great cabins in the forest and all tastefully decorated. Hot water 24/7 and comfy beds. They do laundry and clean boots. Titus and Ken make everyone feel very welcome. They greeted us by first name every time they saw us. The food was delicious and service outstanding. There is a central area in the corner of the... More

We stayed at Buhoma Lodge for 2 nights whilst we went gorilla trekking as part of our tour of Uganda. It was a lovely lodge in a beautiful location and Ken runs it brilliantly. Looking out onto Bwindi Impenetrable Forest from our verandah was so relaxing. The location is a 5 minute walk from the trekking meeting place so really... More

Our second favorite place to stay in Uganda. A nice bungalow looking at the mountain. There was no netting on the beds - perhaps the elevation and since we are in the rainforest maybe they don't have problems with bugs. The bed was very comfortable and they put hot water bottles in the bed at night so the were warm... More

Given the fact that the reason we were at this location was solely to see the Gorillas any accomodation would have been acceptable, however we were lucky to have been booked into Buhoma (just inside the national park gate) for 2 nights. We were also lucky enough to get the room with 68 steps but the climb was well worth... More

Many times when I travel, friends say, "wow, that is the trip of a lifetime" and I shrug, not sure what that means. Now I know. Uganda was the trip of a lifetime, and Buhoma was a large part of that. the location is exquisite and the bungalows take advantage of that. I had to climb 68 stairs to get... More

My husband and I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Uganda and were very pleased to stay at the Buhoma Lodge whilst in Bwindi. The rooms are very clean and have great views of the jungle. Very private little bungalows. The service was excellent and the little extras such as coffee delivered to your room early in the... More

I must admit,...I was never a big fan of these kind of lodges because of the prices. Nevertheless I was amazed when my friend and I arrived late in the evening after a long drive from Entebbe towards the lodge. We were greeted by the staff when we arrived around 9pm. This made me feel home right away,.. After a... More
