Bwindi is popular for its large population of gorilla. Many tourists frequent this place to see them in their natural setting. The park is also well known for other animal species such as primates and different species of birds that are in plenty. The best view of these animals and birds can obtain through nature walks with a tour guide.

Buhoma Lodge commands spectacular and uninterrupted views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park home to the rare and elusive Mountain Gorilla. We offer a top quality, intimate lodge for the Lodge's guests’ enjoyment in this area. Situated within the National Park, Buhoma Lodge is a short distance from the meeting point for gorilla tracking and other activities in the area.

As part of the Lodge's commitment as an organization with a responsible tourism policy we have designed the lodge using sustainable local materials where possible, with the emphasis being on natural products, which has in turn given support to the local communities and businesses. Supplies are obtained from as nearby as possible from local sources and staff are also generally recruited locally and trained on site. The Lodge's water supply is gravity fed and solar power is used for lighting with power points limited to a central area allocated for recharging cameras and videos.
