Southwestern Uganda
One of the few lodges inside the park, the refined Buhoma Lodge is perfect for those wanting to make their ‘gorilla experience’ that bit more memorable. Spacious stilted cottages feature polished-wood floors, claw-foot tubs and plenty of natural light. Each has a private porch with fantastic views of the dense forest and a stone bathtub with seats. Massage included.
There's also professional service and a useful information binder listing walks in the park.
