Location and Setting.

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is uniquely located inside Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in the Buhoma sector, just a short walk or drive from the Uganda Wildlife Authority’s trekking headquarters. This prime location reduces early morning travel time to the gorilla trekking start point and increases your chances of encountering wildlife even around camp.

Accommodations and Amenities.

The camp consists of eight luxury tented suites raised on wooden decks and surrounded by lush forest. Each tent offers a private veranda, queen or twin beds with soft linens, spacious en‑suite bathrooms, and free‑standing bathtubs overlooking the jungle canopy, creating an unforgettable blend of comfort and wilderness.

Communal areas include a stylish lounge, a bar with a selection of drinks, and a dining area with views of the rainforest. Gourmet meals blend local flavours with international cuisine, and special touches such as bush breakfasts, afternoon tea, and surprise sundowners enhance your stay. A mini spa offers massages and wellness treatments that are perfect after a strenuous day of trekking.

Wildlife and Activities.

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is an ideal base for mountain gorilla trekking, with gorilla families sometimes sighted near the camp itself due to its prime forest positioning. Guided by expert rangers, guests can embark on trekking adventures that lead deep into the rainforest in search of habituated gorilla groups.

Other activities include guided nature walks, birdwatching in a forest rich with unique species, and cultural experiences with local communities such as the Batwa. The camp can also assist with organising permits, transport, and personalised safari itineraries to enhance your stay.

Community and Sustainability.

Part of the Sanctuary Retreats collection, the camp supports local philanthropic initiatives that benefit nearby villages and community projects related to health and education, adding meaningful impact to your luxury stay.
