Budget Lodges in Ruhija Sector – Affordable Stays for Gorilla Trekking Bwindi

The best time to visit the budget lodges in Ruhija sector is during the dry season when the paths are clear, making trekking to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park easier. Trekking here is a demanding activity that requires visitors to be physically fit.

It is advised to do some exercise before your gorilla trekking safari to avoid challenges on the tough trails. Bird watching is also possible and can be enjoyed from the comfort of your lodge using binoculars, or by walking into the forest with your camera to capture the many bird species.

In the eastern circuit of Bwindi National Park, you will find many budget lodges that offer relaxation close to nature. This area also has a smaller number of endangered mountain gorillas in three habituated families: Bitukura, Oruzogo, and Kyaguriro. Only sixteen gorilla permits are issued daily in Ruhija, so it is important to book early to avoid missing out.
