My friend and I stayed in the Gorilla Camp twice, 2010 and 2011. This experience changed our lives. We tracked the gorillas, a short distance from camp, hiked to Lake Mutanda, tracked golden monkeys and chimpanzees. Everything is realtively close to Camp. The owner is always upgrading the facility, adding amenities, but keeping things basic so your experience is authentic.... More

Lots of perks: people were friendly, views great, food good, rooms clean and comfortable, easy access to gorilla trekking, bottomless coffee (that was not instant!) available anytime, eco-friendly, etc. The only drawback was that the bathrooms were a fair ways from some of the rooms and the nighttime walks were cold! Bring warm clothes. It gets chilly up here!

We walked there from Buhoma (and spotted a few Gorillas on the track) and it was like coming home, so welcoming and warm were the staff and people of this community. And the facilities are top notch not five star but the pride and attention to detail is obvious everywhere. We upgraded to the cottage and it was 5 star.... More

The Nkuringo camp is located about 12 hours drive from Entebbe, Uganda or 5 hours drive from Kigali, Rwanda. My husband and I went there by first driving to Buhoma, Bwindi (about 10 hours drive from Entebbe), and then trekking from Bwindi to Nkruingo (which took us about 7 hours). The trek itself was very enjoyable but quite full on,... More

It all started when I searched for gorilla’s tracking permits. I approached a number of different agencies and operators. Robert emailed me immediately taking the initiative to call me to provide me with all details about the process. He wasn't asking for anything. Just to assist. We were shocked by his generous willingness to help. We then heard the story... More

Great Service, friendly staff, fantastic location, good food - nothing was missing. This is a really very special place. The comfortable charming lodge is located on top of the highest hill with a fantastic round view. It is run by committed staff which made us feel at home as from our arrival. It is not one of the unpersonal, artificial... More

This the only title that matches the tour I had with the Nkuringo walking safaries in March 2011. Real sense of Africa travelling by foot. Great hikes. I climbed two volcanoes, did a golden monkey track and dugout canoe lake cruise. My guide Everist was very professional and knowledgable. Of course, staying at the Nkuringo gorilla camp was one of...

The Nkuringo Gorilla Camp is the best place to stay when visiting the southern side of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The camp is situated on a beautiful hilltop that over looks the rolls mountains of Bwindi and even the Virungas on a clear day. The food is some of the best you will enjoy in Uganda. The rooms are fabulous and... More

We highly recommend the Nkuringo Gorilla Camp in southwestern Uganda where we stayed in May 2011. It is a very special place with Robert Brierley in charge. Robert is absolutely passionate about Uganda and a seasoned tour guide for excursions in Africa. He has a wide knowledge of Uganda and, on top of this, is an excellent photographer who can... More

Marvellous cottages x 2, tastefully built and decorated in natural materials and fabricks, with an exquisite view over three dormant volcanoes demarkating the boundaries between Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. At night, in a distance, the active and newly formed volcano in the DRC was visible, with a brighter cone and faint lines formed by lava flows.... More
