Close encounters with Ugandan gorillas can be yours when staying at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp. The camp contains a small number of private deluxe tents, situated in the wilderness of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
This eco-friendly resort combines the classic with the contemporary to create a superb retreat in this unbeatable setting. The camp blends in seamlessly with the majestic, mountainous African mountain landscape, and when you arrive, you may be just moments from the start of your adventures with endangered gorillas.
Cosy canvas camping
The cosy canvas accommodation at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is decorated with indigenous prints, neutral linens, local artefacts and furniture crafted from natural materials. Each tent has a spacious en-suite with a free-standing bath. The camp also has a range of comfortable communal areas, including a smart dining area and a lounge with bar that offers stupendous views over the surrounding lush rainforest.
At dusk each day, guests gather under the starry African sky to share anecdotes from their day, while mealtimes are intended to showcase the unique flavours of the region. The camp’s chefs produce expertly prepared cuisine that features exquisite flavours and the freshest local ingredients. For a more intimate dining experience, guests can book a candlelit dinner for two on their own private deck.

The camp is often visited by the local gorilla population, due to its unparalleled location at the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This resort makes the ideal base for a most memorable gorilla tracking trip, and there are community projects for guests to discover, such as philanthropic initiatives at the nearby community hospital and school. Uniquely, less mobile guests can be carried into the mountain gorillas’ habitat by means of sedan chairs that have been specially and safely adapted for this purpose. Visitors can also meet the Echuya Batwa people during their stay.
