Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Buhoma Lodge

Laidback chalets at the edge of the Impenetrable Forest
Embedded in the surrounding greenery of the Impenetrable National Park, Buhoma Lodge is a place where you will feel at one with nature. Blessed with the natural charisma of Bwindi, the location also makes for the perfect place to seek refuge after a full day of mountain gorilla trekking.
The lodge consists of 10 comfortable chalets, each equipped with an en-suite bathroom, balcony and complimentary Wi-Fi. The rooms are charming and exude traditional African architecture. Every chalet has been created using natural eco-friendly materials and is designed to transport you to the outdoors. Some of the chalets also feature a bathtub – perfect for post-trek recovery. Alternatively, guests can also unwind with a massage after their gorilla encounters. At night, you’re invited to drop by the lounge area to cosy up by the fireplace while the in-house chef whips up some amazing dishes.
Besides mountain gorilla trekking, guided forests walks and community visits are also on offer; in addition to spotting the great apes, guests can see several bird species in their natural habitat.
Throughout your stay, you may see or hear animals around the lodge, so you feel like you’re never far from the wild. With the lodge set just steps away from the trek start point, gorillas have been spotted popping in for an occasional visit, while resident monkeys visit the gardens in front of the lodge almost daily.

Places to combine Buhoma Lodge with

Rwanda
Wilderness Magashi Peninsula is the sister property of Wilderness Magashi Camp, an exclusive retreat in the heart of Akagera National Park in Rwanda that offers an immersive safari experience. Set within a private concession on the shores of Lake Rwanyakazinga, with the Mutumba Mountains rising in the distance, this eight-bed camp is designed for those seeking unparalleled privacy and connection to nature. Here, the vast landscapes of open plains, acacia woodlands, shimmering lakes and rolling grasslands form the backdrop to extraordinary wildlife encounters. Akagera is a conservation success story, home to one of Africa’s most diverse ecosystems. Over 500 bird species fill the air with their calls, while elephants wade in the lake and hippos bask along its banks.
The camp comprises a stunning four-bed villa and two twin suites, each elevated to maximise the panoramic views over the lake. Private plunge pools invite moments of quiet reflection and the villa’s multi-purpose room is adaptable as a gym, office or family space. Personalised in-villa dining and a dedicated private guide transform each stay into a deeply personal journey, allowing you to explore the wilderness at your own pace. Embark on a morning game drive, glide silently through the waterways on a boating safari or set out on a guided nature walk.
Rooted in sustainability and inspired by Rwanda’s rich culinary heritage, the menu features fresh, local ingredients. Start the day with a signature ‘rolex’ breakfast wrap, a beloved Rwandan street food specialty, and end it with a Kugisha dinner, a communal feast accompanied by traditional storytelling and song.
As with all Wilderness camps, conservation and community engagement are at the heart of Magashi Peninsula. In partnership with the Akagera Management Company, Wilderness supports vital initiatives such as predator monitoring, invasive plant management and educational programs designed to inspire the next generation of conservationists. Magashi Peninsula builds upon this legacy, ensuring that both wildlife and local communities thrive side by side.
