This lodge is excellent, the staff are so helpful & kind.
After arriving back from a long 14 hour day, trekking the gorillas, our soaking wet boots & clothes were taken from us & arrived back the next evening, cleaned & dry.
The hot bath was a real treat that evening.
Nothing was too much trouble & we were made to feel really welcome.
A bonus was the appearance of two gorillas at the entrance to the camp the next morning!
Thankyou Gorilla Forest Camp we definetly recommend you.

First and foremost, I'd venture to say that Uganda is my favorite. It's lush and breathtaking...not to mention that it houses the endangered elusive giant of the African forest, the mountain gorilla. It had more lakes than any other country that I've been to in Africa (and I haven't been to too many). It's also of higher elevation (up to 8500 ft in Bwindi).

Accommodation here is in eight spacious tents each with its own en
suite facilities including a bathtub that looks out into the forest. The main building overlooks the rain forest and has a raised natural platform for open air dining.

The tent is spacious with 2 double beds. The tent does have 2 wood-framed canvas doors. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, separate bathtub, flush toilet and sink. Since the elevation is above 6000 ft in Bwindi, it was chilly and definitely cold at night. The staff placed hot rubber water bottles in our beds each night to keep our beds warm which was a nice treat. Food at this camp was one of the best that I've had in Africa. Our group was big enough that we had the whole camp to ourselves which meant we were the only ones at the lone dining table at the main camp. There were several courses and all of the them were outstanding. Staff was almost nonexistent here but it is a very small camp. There is a lounge area with a bar.

Gorilla trekking day! After breakfast, we took a short drive to Park Headquarters and met with the excellent local guides and trackers, who gave us a talk on the etiquette of gorilla trekking. We signed up to be in the group where we willing to do the longest hike into the forest to find the gorillas. Luck was with us that day....cuz as soon as we drove 10 min and got out of our vehicle, we literally walked 500 ft or so until one of our soldiers stopped us and pointed to a band of gorillas which walked in front of us! Some of the other group of trekkers didn't fare as well although many of them did see gorillas. We didn't even need to bring along the porters that came with us to carry our bags! We spent a precious hour with these mysterious creatures and boy did that hour go fast! We followed them for a while and then they just decided to park themselves in one area and feed. We watched the young ones climb up into the trees and feed. It was a magical moment. We were told that there are only around 700 mountain gorillas in the world, only 300 of them in Uganda. And they came to us!

I highly recommend bringing a warm jacket, rain gear, binoculars, hat, mosquito repellent, neutral colored clothing, plenty of water and a good camera! It can rain
at a moment’s notice and so waterproof clothing is essential

The trekking can take from one to six hours, and climb to altitudes of no more than 7,500 ft. The terrain is rough and at times muddy. Although the hike is physically demanding, the beauty of the forest and surrounding scenery make the trek worthwhile. Picnic lunches are provided.

It was like coming home, after hallmark stays at their other properties in Tanzania. Service was tops, staff friendly, surprisingly great dinners (and breakfasts).

Had an incredibly special evening with Dr. Scott, a US doctor who has dedicated much of his professional life helping the communities in the area. Stopping by to see his hospital and work is well worth it.

Two small tips for improvements: please consider ways to improve the box lunches and all inclusive should also include sundowners in the evening.

Beyond that, we'll be back. THANK YOU SANCTUARY!

We stayed here for a couple of days whilst Gorilla treking.
A mix of jungle style huts with lots of more familiar services (Wifi, etc)
Just inside the national Park and quiet and peaceful with nice garded full of birds.
Staff were always helpful and all requests were responded to quickly.
Organizing walks and transport all of which are essential for a succesful trip

Meals were better than expected with some very well prepared dishes and large packed lunches for treking days.

NOTE:- if treking take a porter, its not that expensive given how much a permit costs and remember they are "Mountain" Gorillas so they live in hilly places.
