Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is located in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwest Uganda. This camp is walking distance to the park entrance and gorilla trek start point. The lodge has magnificent wraparound views of the forestscape of volcanoes, verdant valleys, waterfalls, lakes and dramatic mountain ranges. It’s the ideal base for encounters with mountain gorillas that live in Bwindi as well as the other wildlife and cultural and philanthropic activities.

In addition, each cottage has a large bathtub that overlooks the jungle canopy, as well as a private viewing deck that’s the ideal place to enjoy a cocktail served by your personal attendant.

Dining at the camp caters to any specific requirements. The bar and dining cottage overlook the rainforest, and there’s a raised natural platform that’s ideal for open-air dining.
