Gorilla Mist Camp: Where Comfort Meets the Call of the Wild

Hidden within the rolling highlands of southwestern Uganda, Gorilla Mist Camp sits gracefully on the forested edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its ancient rainforest and endangered mountain gorillas. The camp is surrounded by thick vegetation, terraced hills, and valleys perpetually wrapped in early-morning mist, creating an atmosphere that feels both mysterious and deeply serene. From the moment guests arrive, they are immersed in Bwindi’s raw beauty—where birdsong replaces traffic noise, cool mountain air drifts through the cottages, and the forest stands as a living, breathing presence just beyond the lodge grounds.

More than just a place to stay, Gorilla Mist Camp serves as a strategic and soulful base for gorilla trekking adventures in the Rushaga and Nkuringo sectors, two of Bwindi’s most sought-after trekking regions. Its location minimizes early-morning travel while allowing guests to fully absorb the rhythm of the forest before and after treks. Mornings begin with mist rising from the treetops as the forest awakens, while evenings unfold in quiet reflection after unforgettable encounters with gorilla families. The camp’s design and service philosophy emphasize comfort without excess, ensuring that the focus remains on the surrounding wilderness and the profound experience of sharing space with one of the world’s most remarkable primates.

So lace up your boots, grab your camera, and prepare to meet the wild — this is where your gorilla trekking dreams and unforgettable safari adventures truly begin.
