Gorilla Forest Camp is a permanent luxury tented camp nestled in the mist–swathed rainforests of a mountainside in the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the natural habitat for over half of the world’s last surviving mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanzee and other forest creatures. The exclusive location affords Gorilla Forest Camp the status of being an ideal base for gorilla tracking, primate viewing and birding excursions in the park.

Accommodation is in eight double tents, raised on wooden platforms, each with en–suite facilities and a bathtub looking out onto the forest. Each tent has a spacious wooden veranda where guests can relax, enjoy a private meal and absorb the exotic mystery of the surrounding rainforest.

The Camp offers a bar and dining cottage overlooking the rainforest, as well as a raised natural platform for open air dining. At night, a traditional African campfire is lit from where a lecture might be given, the gorilla briefings are undertaken or guests simply admire the myriad brilliance of Bwindi’s crystal clear mountain sky.
