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 helps to do some exercise before your gorilla trekking safari to handle the tough trails more easily. Our gorilla trekking difficulty guide covers how to prepare. Birdwatching 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 across three habituated families: Bitukura, Oruzogo, and Kyaguriro.
