Southwest Uganda has many good places to stay, and one of them is Trekkers Tavern Cottages. The cottages are found in the Ruhija sector, northeast of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
From here, you can see the Virunga Volcanoes and enjoy views of Bwindi Forest. The lodge has five cottages, each with an ensuite bathroom, private balcony, and comfortable furniture that makes your stay relaxing and enjoyable.
The facilities at Trekkers Tavern Cottages give you a reason to return on your next safari to Uganda. Guests enjoy secure parking, laundry services (for a fee), and room service to make sure all needs are met.
Free Wi-Fi is available, though sometimes slow because of the remote location and many users connecting at once. Each room has towels, toiletries, and cozy double beds that make your sleep peaceful. Every cottage accommodates up to four guests, so booking early is advised, especially during peak season.
From your balcony, you can enjoy views of Bwindi Forest and even Lake Edward. The quiet environment is combined with meals prepared by skilled chefs, leaving you with a memorable Uganda gorilla trekking safari experience.
Trekkers Tavern Cottages can be reached by both road and air. Most visitors prefer road transport because it is cheaper and more flexible compared to flying. The drive usually starts from either Entebbe International Airport or Kampala city, and takes about 10 hours.
The cottages are located just 2 kilometers from the Ruhija park headquarters, 52 kilometers from Kabale, 44 kilometers from Buhoma, and 462 kilometers from Kampala. For a safe and comfortable journey, it is recommended to travel with a trusted tour company that can provide reliable safari cars and experienced drivers.
Trekkers Tavern Cottages is an eco-friendly accommodation and a good place to book for your stay this season. Ruhija sits at higher altitude and can get cold at night, so pack warm layers alongside your usual trekking gear. Our gorilla trekking packing list covers everything you’ll need for the trail and your evenings at the lodge.
