SANCTUARY GORILLA FOREST CAMP
SANCTUARY GORILLA FOREST CAMP BUHOMA SECTOR
Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is found deep within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and it is one of two only lodges that are located within the camp in other words it’s enclosed within the Park’s boundaries. It is situated on the top of a flat ridge and it’s mainly in the Buhoma sector, in the northern part of Bwindi. This camp is one of the best lodges to book for your stay at Bwindi National Park and its one of the most highly recommended ones.
Unlike other lodges, the location of sanctuary gorilla forest camp within Bwindi Impenetrable Park provides clients with favourable opportunities of having clear views of the Wildlife as well as the various colorful bird species as they sing in the air producing sweet melodies hence making your rest at the camp a memorable one. The camp has classic tented accommodation in other words it has eight private elegant and luxurious safari tents set on the forest’s misty slopes, which are beautified and furnished with mahogany floorboards and private porches, together with local artefacts hence creating a real African scene accommodation. The tents have nice looking Queen-sized beds and large deep bathtubs that are perfectly positioned in a way that they enable you to have a look out unto the forest canopy. They also have electricity and water for all hours making your stay at the camp more comfortable. The camp also has a tailor-made campfire on the lawn which is mainly for gorilla debriefing, and in the night, clients gather around the central camp fire as they chat and enjoy conversations of the day’s adventure in an atmosphere of the night chorus beautified by bright stars up in the sky.
This lodge has a skilled and experienced staff that handles quick service delivery and they as well offer excellent services. This staff will take care of you during your stay at the camp and they always ensure that they prepare and serve the delicious meals in time and the breakfast as well so that you can reach the park headquarters in time for your briefing as you prepare to go for your gorilla trek. The camp also has favourable facilities with tasty drinks that you do enjoy while in the cosy bar and the delicious meals that you enjoy while in the dinning cottage overlooking the rainforest and if it’s during the fine weather, you can dine outside while in the cool air on a raised natural platform with a beautiful surrounding. And surely you shouldn’t really miss out tasting the delicious African traditional meal of smoked beef mixed in G-Nut pest (pea nut butter) served together with millet bread known as “kalo” in local language.
Amazingly, clients should not be surprised when they are visited by some of the Bwindi celebrities, which are the habituated gorillas which sometimes walk by the tents. Therefore you may get a chance of seeing them before you even go for your gorilla trek.
