Buhoma Lodge
Location: Buhoma, at the entrance to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
These tall log cabins are one of the most unique accommodations in Buhoma! Standing proud above the forest canopy, Buhoma Lodge’s cabins command spectacular, uninterrupted views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to the rare mountain gorilla.
An elevated lounge area, complete with bar and dining facilities, offers a comfortable environment to discuss the day’s activities around the fireplaces, which add both atmosphere and warmth to the cool evenings.
Rooms
Eight comfortable cottages have been carefully built, each with its own private verandah, allowing wonderful views of the forest canopy of the National Park.
Inside the spacious cottages you will find comfortable beds and a well appointed en suite bathroom with flushing toilet and a hot shower. Some rooms have bathtubs.
Dining
Meals are freshly prepared with many local ingredients, offering a balance of international and locally flavored cuisine with meals being of several courses. Our bar has a selection of local and imported beverages and our friendly local staff will attend to your needs.
Hot beverages can be served to your cottage with early morning wake up calls as required, allowing you to awake gently and savor the early morning sounds of the forest.

Responsible Travel
The lodge was designed using sustainable local, natural materials where possible. This has, in turn, given support to the local communities and businesses, as supplies are obtained, as far as possible from local sources.
Staff are generally recruited locally and trained on site. Our water supply is gravity fed and solar power is used for lighting with power points limited to a central area allocated for recharging cameras and videos.
