A small, mid range property situated less than five minutes walk away from the National Park offices in Buhoma is the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home of the mountain gorilla in Uganda. It offers accommodations in six, en suite spacious twin / double cottage units with individual verandas allowing excellent views towards the pristine tropical rain forests of the area. In addition, for the more budget conscious, three more twin rooms are available with shared bathroom facilities. All bathrooms have hot and cold running water and flush toilets.
The cool evenings (as the lodge is at almost 1500metres above sea level) are compensated for with a fireplace being lit in the common area, providing a cosy environment for guests to meet each other and discuss the events of the day. A bar service provides local beers, waragi (Ugandan gin), sodas and wines for purchase.
As part of the commitment to the local infrastructure, staff are recruited from the local communities of the area and they provide a welcoming environment and excellent service levels for guests. When ever possible, supplies including local fresh produce, are purchased through arrangements with local residents and businesses in the area.
Meals are freshly prepared and wholesome quantities are served. A variety of international dishes are served as well as local dishes such as matoke and g-nut sauce, on request. |
