Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp sits directly within the Buhoma sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, giving guests the shortest possible walk from bed to briefing point before setting off to track one of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla populations.
Canvas tents set among the forest itself, each with an en-suite bathroom and private veranda facing the surrounding rainforest.
Ugandan and international dishes served communally, often with conversation centred on the day’s gorilla tracking experience.
Guided mountain gorilla tracking with Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers, forest walks, and cultural visits to nearby Batwa communities.
Bwindi holds roughly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population, alongside significant primate diversity including chimpanzee and several monkey species.
Low light beneath Bwindi’s dense forest canopy calls for a wider aperture and higher ISO than open-plain safari photography, worth preparing gear accordingly before a tracking day.
Gorilla tracking permit fees directly fund Bwindi’s ranger patrols and community programmes, a funding model widely credited with the mountain gorilla population’s slow but steady recovery.
