Rushaga Gorilla Lodge ★★★

📍 Rushaga near UWA Park HQ, Bufumbira

"Beautiful location near gorilla tracking! Amazing views of the Mountains. Really gets you in the mood for meeting gorillas. Comfortable room, delicious meals and friendly, helpful staff. Wish I could have spent more than one night! You even get a hot water bottle in your bed!"

Kisoro comfort Inn

📍 Kabale - Kisoro Rd, Chahi, Kisoro district, Bufumbira

"I had an absolutely delightful stay at Kisoro Comfort Inn and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Kigezi. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. One of the highlights was the food, the on-site restaurant serves delicious local cuisine freshly prepared and full of natural flavor. The breakfast was generous and satisfying, a great way to start the day. I'll definitely be back!"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★

📍 VPH7+5RG, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gate, Bufumbira

"A really beautiful place with fantastic staff - very friendly and helpful. We spent there 2 nice days visiting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and would have loved to stay longer, to enjoy the delicious food and the spotless clean bungalows. We got a lot of information and everyone did everything to make us feel at home!"

Santaviva Hotel
6.6 (3 reviews)

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★

📍 Mutanda Rd, Bufumbira

"Santaviva is a lovely little hotel in the heart of Kisoro. Ivan, the manager, is always available to deal with whatever request you have, and he even runs his own ecotourism business from it. If you're coming to Uganda to visit Bwindi or Mgahinga national parks and the mountain gorillas, this is a great place to stay."

Gorilla Safari Lodge
9.2 (27 reviews)

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★

📍 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Bufumbira

"I spent two great nights here. The lodge enjoys a great location on the southern part of Bwindi, a very short distance to the UWA visitor's Centre where you register and get a briefing before you embark your Gorilla trekking experience. Isabel and her team were polite and always eager to help. Special mention to my room Steward Gilbert. A calm, dedicated chap. The rooms at the lodge are quite spacious, i always had a very hot shower (Bwindi can become very cold because of high altitude and the rainforest) and they always provided a hot water bottle at night. The food was nice but become cold so quickly, probably because of the weather."

Bwindi Orugano Lodge
10 (9 reviews)

Bwindi Orugano Lodge ★★★

📍 E Nyabwishenya, Bufumbira

"From the moment my husband and I arrived to the Bwindi Orugano Lodge, we were completely blown away by how beautiful it was! On top of the beauty, the staff at the the lodge were top notch! We felt completely taken care of the entire time - our room was always clean, the food was OUTSTANDING, and all of our questions were promptly answered. The only thing that I would have changed would be to stay longer."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge
9.8 (11 reviews)

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge

📍 UWA Rushaga Road, Bufumbira

"From the moment the drum began beating upon our arrival, I knew that Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge was a special place. After a quick briefing we were led through a garden to our cottage, Mgahinga, which means a pile of stones. Every night Moses strewed floral messages upon our bedspread, and we awoke to the peeping of small yellow birds. All meals were served in the spacious lodge overlooking the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They featured delicious local dishes, such as mtoke, and fried lake fish, and the food had enough continental touches to please the children who were present. Before the sun set, members of the community sang and tried to teach us muzungos how to dance. After our successful gorilla trek the next day, we returned to the lodge for another warm greeting, and we watched the sun set while enjoying a bottle of wine and hearing stories about adventures in Africa. We felt so welcomed at Kaara that I got a little choked up when we left."

Rushaga Gorilla Lodge ★★★
"Incredible staff! Jackie is one of the kindest persons I've met. Clean and comfortable lodge with delicious food. The road to this lodge is an adventure all by itself, but well worth the trip. Most travelers stay here for the gorilla treks in Bwindi. We stayed almost a week to rest after flying from USA to Uganda. We bird watched, visited the Batwa, enjoyed the local dancers, trekked to the gorillas and relaxed. The room was clean and the bed comfortable, with a lovely view, and the food was delicious. Couldn't ask for more!"

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses ★★★
"I went with the University of Connecticut Global Medicine Team. The setting is beautiful with birds awakening us every morning. The breakfasts were superb with fruit, eggs. French toast,native honey, warm rolls coffee and tea. The support from staff was excellent with help in cleaning rooms and laundry. The rooms were spacious and comfortably furnished (mosquito netting for all beds). The Stone House has a library, fireplace, comfortable seating; it is a pleasant gathering place. The gardens are spectacular. For the group of physicians working in the adjacent hospital and nursing school this guest house could not have been better."

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★
"Me and wife stayed at this hotel for 1 night during our trip to Uganda. This hotel, which served as a base to go on the wonderful gorillas trekking in Bwindi is set on a nice forest environment. We were given half a hut (huts here comprise two bedrooms), a fairly large room with a toilet and a balcony, overlooking the “impenetrable forest”. The hotel also has a fairly good WiFi everywhere, which is surprising, given the location. The hotel has a nice restaurant, where we ate dinner and breakfast, preparing for the trekking. The staff was always helpful, which made our stay very comfortable."

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★
"Honestly the best place to stay in the whole of Kisoro! Ivan makes sure you will get the most out of your experience by taking you to some hidden gems, and will help with everything you need. Besides, the hotel is spacious with both inside and outside areas to sit, warm and comfy, and it has a nice restaurant too."

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★
"I was a solo traveler, and I felt so comfortable in the lodge. The place itself is absolutely amazing, breathtaking view, staff is kind, professional, friendly, always there to greet with a smile and assist with anything and everything. The food was delicious. :) I had dinner one night, and they made it so special, they arranged flowers, saying good evening in my language. :) Also, in the evening, if you feel cold, they will make a fire in your room, which is so soothing, and they even leave a cute heating pad in your room to sleep comfortably. All in all, really amazing experience, nothing to complain about, and highly recommended."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge
"This lodge is out of the way up an extremely steep and rocky road (track). Once you are there the view is stunning but we were unable to enjoy it from our deck because we were located next to a building site (a new set of rooms at the lodge) so there were electric power tools in use all afternoon. The rooms are reached via steep and uneven steps (which when we left were slippery from rain and in total darkness). We were overcharged ridiculously for drinks and when we queried the bill, we were fobbed off. The best part of our stay was our housekeeper who was genuinely helpful and went out of his way to take care of us. Unless you are fit and a non-drinker (who likes scary roads that add unnecessary time to each trip), stay elsewhere."
