Top Notch!!! 10 out of 10!
5 minute drive to gorilla trekking, spacious, beautiful and clean rooms and grounds. The chef was amazing and catered to individual tastes. We also enjoyed walking to the Batwa village and learning about their history and culture. I loved this place and wish I could have stayed longer!

We're delighted that your stay gave you the perfect balance of comfort, great food, and easy access to one of the world's most extraordinary wildlife encounters. It's especially rewarding to know you took time to connect with the Batwa community, it's a meaningful part of what makes this corner of Bwindi so special.
Your kind words are a wonderful encouragement to our entire team, who work hard to make every guest feel genuinely cared for from arrival to departure.
The forest will be waiting whenever you're ready for another adventure, and we'll be just as excited to welcome you back for a little longer next time.

Perfect for gorilla trekking
We were completely satisfied.
The room looked exactly like in the hotel pictures, very well equipped and clean. The highlight is, of course, the terrace with comfortable seating and a view of the opposite rainforest.
All meals were excellent, high-quality, and lovingly presented, and the chef personally introduced the dishes and asked for our preferences. Individual needs were also taken into account.
The staff, from the manager to the chef to the waiter, were consistently very friendly, helpful, and genuinely committed to taking care of the guests. This was especially evident when we had a small medical emergency - our special thanks for that.
It should also be mentioned that our checkout could be easily postponed, which made our stay around the gorilla trekking significantly more relaxed.
The only minor point of criticism: Wifi is only available in the main area, not in the rooms.
We would have liked to stay longer and highly recommend the lodge.
