Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge
What makes volcanoes extraordinary?
Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge offers an exquisite stay for those embarking on thrilling gorilla treks at the Buhoma trailhead. Nestled in the village of Buhoma, just a stone’s throw from the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the trailhead awaits a mere hour’s drive away.
In contrast, Clouds in the southern part of the park is significantly nearer to the trailhead, yet the journey to reach it is more challenging. What distinguishes Volcanoes is the exceptional design, immersing you in a forest-like atmosphere as the gentle hills ascend above your banda.
The main compound is incredibly airy, with walls that seem to be almost entirely glass, and it opens up to a viewing deck that invites you to sip on a cocktail or two before heading back to your cozy cottage for dinner. The dining experience at Volcanoes stands out among numerous lodges in Uganda, and the service is truly exceptional.
Accommodations & Features
Stay in 8 standard bandas and 2 deluxe bandas, each uniquely named after a gorilla. Each room comes with dedicated service, featuring en-suite bathrooms equipped with walk-in showers, and a private veranda that offers stunning views of the forest right at your doorstep.
The main building features a cozy lounge area centered around an inviting open fireplace, along with a bar and restaurant, and a shared viewing deck that beckons exploration. A spa nestled within the forest awaits just beyond the main building. The dining experience at Volcanoes stands out from the crowd, perfectly tailored for those adventurers embarking on a gorilla trek. The staff understands precisely what you require before, during, and after your exhilarating journey.
Exciting experiences at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge
Even if Bwindi was not home to the mountain gorilla, its seclusion, stunning landscapes, and captivating variety of life would draw in adventurers. However, it is the magnificent great apes that have transformed Bwindi into Uganda’s premier tourist destination.
Beyond the gorillas, Bwindi presents incredible forest walks, with wildlife that astounds in its diversity and extends well beyond just the gorillas. Engaging with the people of Bwindi, discovering their history and connection to the forest, is truly enchanting.
