Bwindi Guest House – Community Lodge in Buhoma Sector Bwindi Uganda

Bwindi Guest House, also known as Bwindi Community Hospital Guest House, has a long history of service. It first hosted Dr. Scott Kellerman, and for over 20 years it has welcomed many visitors. The guest house has created jobs for local people, improving their livelihoods through daily and monthly wages. Tipping staff is appreciated and can make a big difference in their lives, though it is not mandatory and is done only by free will.

The guest house is now managed by the local hospital, which uses part of its earnings to support community health programs, doctors, and volunteers. Guests are warmly welcomed from all over the world, including volunteers, and are served delicious meals ranging from local to international cuisine depending on their preference. For relaxation, there is also a bar where guests can enjoy a cold drink while looking at the green surroundings of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

The guest house has comfortable accommodation, with some buildings originally built by volunteers now being used to serve the community and support the hospital. Guests can also visit the hospital or the nursing school before setting off for activities in Bwindi, making their stay both relaxing and educational.

Bwindi Guest House is located in the Buhoma sector, making it an ideal place to stay before going gorilla trekking. Gorilla trekking is allowed for visitors aged 15 years and above, and everyone must have a permit from the Uganda Wildlife Authority as proof of payment. Before trekking, guides brief guests on the rules, including:

• Do not mimic gorilla sounds, as this may provoke them.
• Do not pluck leaves or feed the gorillas, as this can harm their health.
• Avoid loud noise, which may disturb their daily activities.

Look no further for a peaceful and meaningful stay than Bwindi Guest House.
