Buhoma Community Rest Camp gives you a warm welcome and a real taste of local life before you enter Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, only a short distance away. The staff guide you on arrival and help you settle into your booked tents or bandas, making sure you feel at home.
From the comfort of your veranda, you can enjoy views of the forest and listen to birds that gather around the area. The camp also has a restaurant serving meals prepared to your preference, and a bar with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to refresh you after a long day.
The camp reflects African culture through its art and craft shops, where you can find wood carvings, woven bags, baskets, and local fabrics. In the evening, guests are entertained with music, dance, and drumming.
Accommodation is offered in six bandas built in African architectural style. Each banda is fully furnished and holds up to four beds, making it possible to host families or groups of travelers.
Guests can also take part in activities such as nature walks to Buhoma village. Here you can interact with locals and learn about their daily lives, which may include banana brewing, traditional dances, and singing.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of the most popular destinations in Uganda because of its mountain gorillas. Gorilla permits are limited, so booking late can mean missing out on trekking gorillas altogether. Our gorilla trekking permit cost guide covers current pricing and how far ahead to book.
This is why staying at nearby places like Buhoma Community Rest Camp is a good move, since it keeps you close to the park and all its activities. The camp sits in the Buhoma sector, one of Bwindi’s four trekking sectors.
