Gorilla Forest Camp
UgandaDeep in the heart of Uganda’s UNESCO-listed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is an atmospheric retreat offering unforgettable encounters with rare mountain gorillas. Located on a flat ridge high in the forest, this camp offers a high standard of stay considering its remote location.
Accommodation is in eight spacious tents set on raised wooden platforms. Each has a queen-sized bed draped in mosquito netting, private veranda, and en suite with shower, flushing toilet and bathtub.
The restaurant serves hearty home-cooked meals, and guests have the option of a private candlelit dinner on their deck. There’s also a comfortable lounge and bar, and terrace with boma.
The highlight is gorilla trekking (if you’re lucky you may see a gorilla wandering through the camp). Guests can also visit tribal villages and community projects, and enjoy birding and forest walks. The mini spa is the ideal place to unwind.

“This is an exclusive camp and the perfect base for a once in a lifetime trip to track mountain gorillas. Due to its location, you're only ever minutes away from a gorilla trekking adventure, and if you’re lucky, you may see a gorilla wandering through the camp. The accommodation here is in eight spacious tents so it feels very exclusive, and there's also a comfortable lounge and bar, and terrace with boma."
