The natural beauty around CTPH Gorilla Conservation Camp is clear from the moment you look out through the banda window or veranda. The camp sits at the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, giving you wide views of the forest canopy. The area is home to many bird species, including migratory birds that visit seasonally.
Visitors can also stop by the CTPH Gorilla Health and Conservation Center, which works together with the Uganda Wildlife Authority. The center focuses on protecting endangered mountain gorillas and reducing the spread of disease between gorillas and the local community.
The camp has a new guest house with five self-contained rooms and two tents, all set around a shaded dining area among the trees. Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with both local and international dishes prepared by skilled chefs. Guests are well taken care of, giving them the energy and comfort needed for their safaris.
Staying at CTPH Gorilla Conservation Camp makes it easier to take part in activities such as gorilla trekking. Treks often begin early in the morning to see gorillas carrying their young, searching for food, and moving as families. Guests staying nearby reach the starting point quickly, unlike those staying far away who may miss out or spend too much time traveling.
Other activities include nature walks, where guests can explore the area within a few hours, and birdwatching, which lets you spot many species. Visitors are reminded to stay calm and quiet while birding, since loud noise may disturb the birds. It also helps to leave the park as you found it and respect the privacy of both people and wildlife. Our gorilla trekking rules guide covers this and other park etiquette in full.
