What makes Volcanoes extraordinary?
Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge offers an exquisite stay for those embarking on thrilling gorilla treks at the Buhoma trailhead. Nestled in the village of Buhoma, right on the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the trailhead awaits just an hour’s drive away.
In contrast, Clouds in the southern part of the park is significantly nearer to the trailhead, yet the journey there presents greater challenges. What distinguishes Volcanoes is the exceptional design, immersing you in a forest atmosphere as the sloping hills tower above your banda.
The main compound is incredibly airy, with walls that seem to be almost entirely glass, and it opens up to a viewing deck that invites you to sip on a cocktail or two before heading back to your cozy cottage for dinner. The dining experience at Volcanoes is exceptional, surpassing that of many other lodges in Uganda, and the service is truly outstanding.
Accommodations & Features
Stay in 8 standard bandas and 2 deluxe bandas, each uniquely named after a gorilla. Each room comes with dedicated butler service, featuring en-suite bathrooms equipped with walk-in showers, and a private veranda that offers stunning views of the forest right at your doorstep.
The main building features a cozy lounge area with an inviting open fireplace, a bar and restaurant, and a shared viewing deck that beckons exploration. A spa nestled within the forest awaits just beyond the main building. The food at Volcanoes is exceptional, and since most visitors at the lodge are gearing up for a gorilla trek, they understand precisely what you require before, during, and after your adventure.

Even if Bwindi was not home to the mountain gorilla, its seclusion, stunning landscapes, and captivating variety of life would draw in adventurers. However, it is the magnificent great apes that have transformed Bwindi into Uganda’s premier tourist destination.
Beyond the gorillas, Bwindi presents incredible forest walks, with wildlife that astounds in its diversity and extends well beyond just the gorillas. Engaging with the people of Bwindi, discovering their history and connection to the forest, is truly enchanting.
