Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge Uganda

Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge is a luxury lodge situated in Bwindi, just close to Buhoma Village overlooking and outside the beautifully primeval Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and only 500 meters from the start of the gorilla trail! 

Bwindi Lodge is accessed via an hour flight from Entebbe International Airport or an 8-hour road transfer from Kigali. The lodge has stunning views of the forest canopy across a serene stream, a great place to spot the monkeys and birds hidden in the foliage.

Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge has 10 unique luxury bandas (2 deluxe and 8 standards). All rooms offer spectacular views of the forest. The rooms are complete with en-suite bathrooms with a flushing toilet, double vanity, and shower with hot & cold running water.

The stone-and-timber bandas at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge do a wonderful job of keeping guests comfortable during the sometimes cool and misty weather experienced in this unique forest environment. 

With just 10 guest units, this luxury Bwindi safari lodge feels extremely intimate, which seems appropriate given that the main activity here is gorilla trekking. Encountering a habituated group of mountain gorillas is in itself perhaps one of the most intimate and affecting African wildlife experiences and one which never leaves people unmoved.

Other amenities at the lodge include; a restaurant, bar, lounge, garden, massage Spa deck, fireplace, Complimentary laundry service, Wi-Fi, Power sockets/charging facilities, a hair dryer in the rooms, and internet access only in the main lodge. There is personal butler service for all guests.

The dining area is elegantly furnished and adjoins the homely bar. Take a slightly longer walk, into the high street of the nearest village, and you reach Bwindi Bar. The award-winning Bwindi Bar is the most stylish and colorful bar in the area! Guests also enjoy informal tapas-style meals inspired by Ugandan dishes.
