“Really nice lodge conveniently located next to Gorilla headquarters”

Really pretty lodge and rooms almost right next to the gorilla trekking headquarters. You could probably walk there easily but likely better to drive the 10 minutes. The staff were all very friendly, especially the lady working at the front (Elizabeth?) who was so kind. The room itself was really quite cool and charming, even if it's a tent sided space. The balcony with the view across the valley is stunning. It does get quite cold at night but they bring you hot water bottles to throw in the bed which made a huge difference. Note, that if it's in the rainforest so everything will become soggy and damp, especially if it's raining, even if water doesn't get on it. There is ample parking which will be filled up with safari vehicles each night. Every single person staying here is there for gorilla trekking, so they know the process very well. They have lots of things you might need if you don't have the gear. Gum boots, gloves, masks. Bring a mask with you as they aren't supplied by the trekking headquarters and they are mandatory.

“Fairly ok”

Location is good

Great location to park. Staff are friendly. Wifi works only in the restaurant area. Was expecting more from this place. The room was good.

“Bad experience”

We are budget travellers, this hotel was the most expensive of our two week journey but we had the most bad experience here. So bad quality for that price

“My exceptionally memorable and beautiful stay at Rushaga”

The views are breathtaking and I was lucky enough to have a room with a balcony that overlooked the beautiful scenery. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming (the hot water bottles were indeed much appreciated), as it gets quite chilly at night. See you all again very soon.

“Great location for Rushaga gorilla trekking”

Very close to the park entrance for gorilla trekking (5 minutes drive), well decorated rooms, turndown service with hot water bottles - needed for the chilly nights), good food and friendly service.

“Expensive place to park your van for a night or two.”

Unexpectedly close to the gorilla trek

“great location to do activities from”

Helpful staff with info re Gorilla trekking Great location close to the Bwindi gate

“Really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were excellent.”

The staff, the food and the location were all amazing. Super chilled and a great place to relax.

“Just great!”

I recently stayed at the Rushaga Gorilla Tracking Lodge in Uganda, just a short walk from Bwindi National Park. The luxury cottage was spacious with a panoramic valley view, ideal for relaxation. The service was exceptional, thanks to the personal touch from the manager, Elizabeth, and her team. The food was a tasty mix of local and Western dishes, including vegetarian options. The lodge’s peaceful atmosphere perfectly complemented the wild surroundings, offering comfort amidst nature. It’s great value for money compared to other nearby lodges. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Bwindi, whether solo, with a group, or with family.

Excellent place to stay souranded by beautiful nature

“So glad that we chose this fantastic lodge!”

Beautiful location, and our room was excellent - nicely decorated very private, with a stunning view. The food was very well prepared, and the staff all very friendly and helpful. Our server, Blair, was really professional, and lovely.

“Overall, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge is an excellent choice for travelers, whether you prefer the comfort of their rooms or th”

We had a wonderful stay at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge while traveling with our rooftop tent, and it exceeded all expectations! The lodge staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Even though we were camping, we were given access to the lodge’s excellent facilities, which were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The location is perfect for gorilla trekking, with the starting point just a short distance away. The lodge’s peaceful surroundings, nestled in the heart of nature, provided a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the area before or after an adventurous day. We also appreciated the option to enjoy meals at the lodge – the food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The staff were attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

“Really loved our stay but not super equipped for camping guests”

Staff & hospitality: More friendly & helpful staff is hard to find. Even as campers we were greeted and welcomed like the fanciest guests, and there were always staff around who you could ask Qs to. They're all very professional & knowledgeable about activities in the community etc. Location: It is also ideally located for those doing gorilla tracking at Rushaga, Bwindi: you don't feel like you're in the community where people will bother you but you are close enough that you can hear and see the day-to-day life of people near the mountains. It's a mere 10min drive/20min walk to the gorilla tracking office. The views from Rushaga are like I've rarely seen in my life! It was such a breath of fresh air to stay there. Wish we could return!
