SANCTUARY GORILLA FOREST CAMP TRIP REVIEWS & SAFARI ADVISOR (2025-2026)

What We Like About Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

1. Located just inside the boundary of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, offering easy access to the trailheads you can follow to see mountain gorillas. Mobility-challenged guests can be carried on sedan chairs with prior notice.
2. Surrounded by lush foliage, providing the intimate safari holiday experience, with just 10 rooms and few other visitors.
3. Has a spa and beauty center where you can get expert treatments using natural herbs and oils.
4. The staff takes excellent care of guests, offering warm services, sharing anecdotes about their lives, and making guests feel at home.
5. Superb dining experience at the camp and traditional campfire relaxation prior and after dinner.

Things To Note When Staying At Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

1. The camp is accessed via a steep climb of more than 90 steps, which mobility-challenged travelers may find it unsuitable.
2. Maintains the authenticity of a traditional tented lodge, and thus does not have a swimming pool or fitness center. However, each room is equipped with a yoga kit that has two mats, therabands, and hand weights for working out.
3. Needs to improve to become a 100% eco-friendly and carbon neutral camp; electricity currently runs through a silent generator and an inverter battery system.
4. Located in the Buhoma sector of Bwindi which has the highest footfall of gorilla trekking tourists in Uganda.
5. The camp works with local communities including their flagship support of Bwindi Community Hospital.
