Hotels near Ntungamo

This is truly one of the best places to stay, right in the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The forest views are breathtaking and you feel completely immersed in nature. The staff went above and beyond and it was the best service we received on our 5 week trip. The food was delicious! There is also plenty to do in the area - gorilla trekking (a must!), nature walks, community walks, and visiting a local school in Buhoma which I highly recommend. Thank you Bwindi Neckview Lodge, we’ll definitely be back.

Gorilla Leisure Lodge totally blew me away. If you’re heading to Bwindi for trekking, this place is it—don’t look any further. I’ve traveled around Uganda before, and this was definitely one of my top stays. The quality of the lodge is way beyond what you'd expect for the price. Everything was new and spotless, the food was delicious, and the overall value is unbeatable. A huge shoutout to Madinah and the rest of the team—the people at Gorilla Leisure Lodge are among the kindest I’ve ever met. They went out of their way to make sure I was smiling from start to finish. We went gorilla trekking at Rushaga gate (amazing!) and the lodge is just a 15-minute drive away. Unlike some who have to wake up at 4 AM to drive an hour and a half on rough roads, you’re super close to everything here. Gorilla Leisure Lodge is a hidden gem thats only 15 minutes away from the gate. My only regret is that we stayed just one night. It would have been perfect to return after trekking and unwind on the porch with the beautiful mountain views. I would have loved to see the sunset and soak up more of the lodge’s serenity. Gorilla Leisure Lodge is top-notch, and the warmth of the team makes you feel right at home. I’ve already recommended it to my family, and I’d definitely come back in a heartbeat!

The lodge is located at a walkable distance from the park’s buhoma main gate. The stay was very comfortable. Breakfast was really good.

The rooms are amazing. Big room, comfortable bed, great balcony.
