Room Description

Mount Gahinga Lodge’s eight attractive bandas are nestled in the wild gardens at the foot of the Virunga Volcanoes.

All bandas have their own patio seating area, as well as private bathrooms with composting toilets and bush showers, which are filled with hot water upon request.

Lighting is solar powered, making them extremely environmentally friendly.

Activities At The Lodge

  • Guests can spend the day climbing the Muhavura Volcano. (Elevation 4137 m) Its name means “the guide.” The typical cone-shaped mountain provides some of the best views in the country. Much of the climb passes a rocky surface covered by grasses and small shrubs. Once at the top, hikers are rewarded with the view of the Virunga Volcanoes, Lake Edward in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi, and the peaks of Rwenzori Mountain. The hike takes approximately 8 hours (round trip covering 12 km).
  • Guests can spend the day climbing the Gahinga Volcano. (Elevation 3473 m) Its name means “small pile of rocks.” A hike, which takes you about 6 hours round trip goes through a good example of a pure bamboo forest. Gahinga once had a crater lake on top but time has changed it into a lush swamp. (Distance to the swamp is 8 km.)
  • Guests can go on a nature walk along the Congo/Uganda border (visa not required). This hike takes you first toward Sabinyo. The trail climbs up the base of Sabinyo for a while through fine montane forest before turning toward the Congo. Along the way you will get a great view of Sabinyo’s gorge and peaks. Upon reaching the Congo you cut back along the international border. The return leg to the park headquarters is a great section for birding. The two rest huts along the way are good places for a break. Look closely for the golden monkeys and signs of elephants. (Hiking time is 5 hours and distance is 10 km.)
  • Guests can visit the rare golden monkeys in Mgahinga National Park. They can spend one hour with the golden monkeys – less famous but rare and equally deserving of protection. Golden monkeys are found only in the Virungas and in one other forest in Rwanda. 
  • Guests can go birding in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park which is blessed with a unique bird fauna; 79 bird species have thus far been recorded within the park including several species endemic to the East Congo Montane region. For the Virunga Conservation Area as a whole, over 295 species in the Virungas are endemic to the Albertine Rift Afromontane region representing 59% of the total of known endemic species. 
  • Guests can visit local communities and schools, a 2-3 hour walk. The walk is not that strenuous, through local villages where stops can include a basket maker, blacksmith, and school. 
  • Guests can take part in a full day Batwa pygmy experience. This cultural walk starts at a base camp, which is situated 30 minutes from the lodge. Members of the Batwa community and Ugandan Wildlife Authority guides take you through the dense forest and educate you on the Batwa ways of life. You will see traditional dwellings, shoot with bows and arrows, learn about medicinal and edible plants, and visit the Garama Cave for a song and dance performance. 

Responsible Travel

Composting toilets, bush showers and rainwater catchment sytems preserve water supplies. Solar electricity is also used, and the wildflower area has been left to attract birds and other wildlife.

The Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust receives $100 from every safari and has purchased school roofs and water tanks, and made donations to hospitals

This eloquent eco-friendly safari lodge overlooks the primeval Bwindi forest, which is home to gorillas, monkeys, chimpanzees and birds. You can understand why this lodge was named “the best safari lodge in Uganda” (Msafiri Magazine) when you sit on the terrace that juts out into the forest, and take in the exotic sounds and sights of primates and birds in the canopy. 

Bwindi Lodge’s delicious, hearty meals will prepare you for a day in the forest, the fireplace will warm you on your return, and the complimentary massage will be a welcome treat after tracking gorillas on the steep mountain slopes. In between forest adventures, guests can relax on the terrace listening to the sounds of the primates and the birds in the canopy, or take a tour of the local village of Buhoma and the nearby Batwa community.

One of the walks leads to a very beautiful waterfall.
  • Guests can go on a birding walk. The forest birding ranks with the best in Uganda, with 23 highly localized Albertine Rift endemics present. 
  • Guests can go on a village walk. The tour visits a traditional medicine man, views how banana gin is made, and sees the local school and hospital, both of which Volcanoes Safaris supports.
  • Guests can also spend the day with the Batwa pygmies. This excursion starts with a hike through the forest past stunning vistas. Along the way you will watch demonstrations of how the Batwa used to live in the forest, how they use medicinal plans, and how they hunt and gather. You will also visit local dwellings, try a spot of archery and even see local dancing. 
  • Guests can walk along the beautiful Bwindi Lodge river trail through regenerated bush that we have carefully nurtured as a buffer zone. This walk is about 40 minutes long. 
  • Guests can visit the Amagara Farming Projects. This tour requires a short drive, but guests will get the chance to visit the local agriculture project where the lodge buys a great deal of vegetables to support local communities. Activities there include taking a tour of the vegetable gardens, or you can have cooking lessons on local cuisine.
