Rushaga Gorilla Lodge

The rooms are situated overlooking a jungle valley, many perched on stilts with a secluded feeling. A nice ambiance, but a bit dated overall. Our room tilted a bit as if the supports had settled on one end. Small water heater so don't linger too long in the shower! The food was excellent. Watch out for the stairs, as they can get slippery in the rain. A great base for gorilla trekking in the Impenetrable Forest

A great mid-range lodge run by Elizabeth who ran a team that provided a really good service. The views from our balcony and the restaurant/bar were amazing over the Bwindi Forest. A small frustration was that it makes a big play about the pool - but it was empty when we got there! The web site says that it is only a 10 min walk to the entrance to the park and the Gorillas. This is broadly true (perhaps 15 mins), however, when you start the Gorilla trek you need to have access to a vehicle to drive you to the start point of the walk depending on where the Gorilla families are (perhaps one start point may have been the gate, I don't know - but most people drove away). We had a wonderful experience at the Lodge and with the Gorillas.

We had an amazing three nights at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, with specacular views of the Bwindi Impentrable Forest National Park. The lodge is charming and very well maintained, with extremely clean and comfortable rooms. The food is delicious and plentiful, and they had great vegetarian options for every meal. The very best part of the lodge is the team working here, who took incredible care of us. From enuring our room was spotless and creating lovely towel and flower art on our bed every day, to making sure we had all the food and drinks we could need, to helping with our muddy post-forest hiking shoes and clothes, they made sure that we were comfortable and happy at all times. They even provided cozy hot water bottles on our way to bed, to help keep us toasty warm on cooler nights! We spent a fair bit of time in the main lodge using wifi and enjoying the beautiful setting, and Braire and the team made sure every moment was amazing, including supplying many cups of delicious Uganda tea. We're so grateful for the incredible experience that we had and would highly recommendt the Rushaga Gorilla Lodge to anyone looking to stay in the area!

goede plek als uitvalbasis naar de gorrilas.leuke ontvangst in de lodge bij aankomst. ook heel aardige mensen. de ligging is heel goed, met een mooi uitzicht, kamers zijn ook netjes, maar er is wel wat onderhoud nodig, bv kapotte lampen en kleine dingen op de badkamer.de badkamer werd wel snel gerepareerd. het eten is goed, er is ook warm water uit de douche, en het bed is ook goed, ik had echter wel heel vochtige kussens. ze maken zelfs je bergschoenen zuiver als je het vraagt(of word gevraagd). helaas lag mijn kamer naast de parkeerplaats, wat wel enige geluidsoverlast gaf.

The staff was friendly and very professional. The area was the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

Great value and great views It is a bear getting to this area for gorilla trekking but once here, you’ll feel thankful for the Rushaga Gorilla Camp. The views are stunning here and there are ample places to relax, catch your breath, and take in the beauty that surrounds you. The room had everything that we needed and food was easily accessible (if average). The team at Rushaga took excellent care of us. Our only regret is that we’d not added an extra day at the property after our trek.
