Honeymoon started in Uganda, stayed at the wonderful gorilla forest camp.
Uganda is really moving forward in tourist industry.
Gorilla forest camp is top of the bill, and perfectly well organised!!!!!!!

try the home baked chips!

Gorilla Forest Camp is a beautiful camp that blends seamlessly into the living, tropical forest. It is just a few minutes from the orientation and starting point for gorilla trekking Bwindi's Impenerable Forest. The lodge team, headed by King and Ian are very hospitable and attentive. Chef Medad whips up magic in his kitchen - in the middle of nowhere.

I liked the hot water bottle in my bed and that my large tent had a flushing loo (a rarity in Uganda) and both a shower and a bath. The forest-view bath is a great place to soak shattered muscles; and reflect on the journey of a lifetime...

Be under no illusion, gorilla trekking is tough going but; well managed with regular shaded stops and lots of water. We zig-zag climbed 6000 ft in just over two hours. Three young gorilla frolicked and foraged right up close, literally at arms length! In the hour we spent with them we took great photos and video clips and also sat back to appreciate how special it is to view this particular family, part of only about 700 gorilla, in the world. It was magic for this ‘Mizungo in the Mist’.

After recouping from our gorilla trek we visited the Batwa Pigmy with interpreter Eliphaz and Pigmy Elder, James. This is a fascinating, funny and interactively enjoyable tribal experience that improves the lives of all the Batwa Pigmy.

- Ask for Rogers, an exceptional, driver and the star of the Gorilla Forest Camp team.
- Ask for David the Uganda Wildlife Authority, senior guide. His fondness, respect and knowledge of the gorilla - makes the trek.
- Ladies, ask for Glorious a sure-footed porter who literally hand-holds you along the treks more challenging parts.

My over-riding impression is of complete attention to detail in providing comprehensive customer service which gets the balance exactly right in terms of being attentive without being intrusive. Very well managed, the staff are exceptionally responsive to your every need. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, and complements the surroundings. The comfort and range of services is wonderful, especially bearing in mind the tough gorilla trekking you may have been doing during the day. The man who plays music every night is meditative and relaxing - overall a great place...

We were delighted with the accomodations as soon as we arrived. The confort was comparable to the best of our other four safaris, without being over-the-top. Gorilla Forest Camp retains that African feeling lost in some other high quality tented camps. But the best was when the gorilla family visited camp and stayed for at least 1 1/2 hours. We had done two days of gorilla tracking, and this was the best look that we got of the gorillas yet. I understand that it's not unusual for one particular gorilla family to pay a visit to the camp.
The staff was great and friendly. Even without the gorillas we loved our stay here.
