Deep within Uganda’s splendid Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, you will find the remarkable Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, the lodge offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness one of Africa’s most extraordinary creatures – the mountain gorillas.

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp boasts an unparalleled location just inside the forest gates, a mere five-minute walk from the Uganda Wildlife Authority Centre’s starting point for gorilla trekking adventures. Remarkably, gorilla families sometimes visit the camp itself, creating magical moments where you might wake up to the sight of these magnificent apes.

Celebrated for its eco-conscious design, the lodge seamlessly integrates with the dramatic mountain landscape, providing seclusion and space amidst the ancient rainforest. With only ten private luxury tents, guests are ensured an intimate and exclusive experience.

The communal area at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is equally impressive, featuring a comfortable lounge, an elegant dining area, and a well-stocked bar with stunning views over the lush rainforest. At dusk, guests gather around the central campfire beneath a star-filled sky, sharing stories of the day’s adventures to the symphony of the night chorus.

Beyond its luxurious accommodations and proximity to the breathtaking gorillas, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp offers guests the chance to engage with the local community through Sanctuary’s philanthropic projects. This unique experience provides a rare insight into the lives of the semi-nomadic Batwa people, the original inhabitants of the forest.
