      Overview

      Gorilla Forest Camp offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up-close and personal with Uganda’s endangered gorillas. The camp boasts 10 private luxury tents allowing guests to unwind in the heart of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Eco-friendly, contemporary yet classic at the same time, this unique camp blends effortlessly with the dramatic African mountain landscape. Perfectly situated in a national park, you are just a few minutes away from an epic gorilla trekking adventure!

      Each canvas tent is dressed in indigenous prints coupled with furniture made from locally sourced, natural materials. The beds are draped in neutral tones and each corner features a different artefact, showcasing the beauty of this wondrous land. Each of the spacious tents with stone-walled bathrooms offers private sections and a free-standing bath to enjoy a warm soak after a full day of trekking. All you will hear is the sound of trees dancing, birds singing and nature taking its course. The camp retains an intimate, exclusive feel, enabling you to experience Africa’s magic with the lightest of footprints yet with practically every mod con.

      Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp’s communal area stars a comfortable lounge with a well-stocked bar and elegant dining area, bestowing great views over the verdant rainforest. Come dusk, under star-strewn skies, and accompanied by the night-chorus, guests gather around the central campfire and swap stories of that day’s adventures. Mealtimes lend a taste of the destination: expertly prepared dishes promise simple flavours and showcase fresh local ingredients — try traditional smoked beef in peanut sauce served with Kalo (millet bread). Candlelit alfresco dining is also available on your tent’s private deck.

      The communal areas of Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp boast a cosy lounge featuring a well-stocked bar and a luxurious dining area.
