Nshongi Camp was definitely one of my favorite places in Uganda and my stay there was really pleasant and relaxed. Bandas were basic but clean and comfortable. Food was absolutely the best I got during my whole time in Uganda, and although full board was a bit pricey compared to other places I visited, I was happy to pay for... More

Nshongi Camp is definitely one of the nicest and most unique places to stay throughout Uganda! Sometimes you see a photo of a place on a website, which looks really beautiful and then when you get there you get disappointed; well this is NOT the case with Nshongi! Nshongi Camp is exactly what it looks like on the website -... More

The Nshongi Camp is a beautiful garden directly on the border of the Bwindi Impenetrable Nationalpark. The accomodation is pretty basic but very clean. You will have a bed in a Banda. Toilets and Showers are outside and the stuff provides some hot water if you want. If you have booked full board the stuff will prepare some nice food... More

We stayed at the Nshongi Camp for one night, to visit the gorilla's the next day. Nshongi camp has the most ideal location, only a 15 minute walk from the meeting point where the gorilla tracking starts! Since the condition of the roads toward Bwindi is questionable, this is a much better option then getting up early in the morning... More

I stayed at Silver's (the manager) place for only one night after walking for five days with Nkuringo Safaris. The rooms are basic but very cosy and with magical view at the park! They are build in a well maintained garden. All you hear are the sounds of the forest. Wish I could stay there a little more... Peter Netherlands

We really enjoyed our stay at Nshongi Camp.There's no electricity or running water, but this is to be expected in a remote location like this. The setting is beautiful, down the hill from Rushaga village beside the river and surrounded by forest. The staff were very friendly (thanks Silver) and the food was excellent. The room was very basic but... More

When we (my wife and myself) planned our travel to Uganda, the only prearranged things were the permits for gorilla tracking, namely the Nshongi family. Day by day we planned our next stay, but in the case of gorillas, we wanted to be on time at briefing. That’s why we searched for the nearest possible stay. We excluded accommodation in... More
