Accommodation Options
Bwindi offers excellent lodging choices across its four trekking sectors (Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo), ranging from eco-lodges to luxury forest retreats. We match accommodations to your travel style, budget, and preferred trekking region.
Best Time for Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla trekking is available year-round. However, the dry seasons (June–September and December–February) offer easier hiking conditions and clearer forest trails. The wet seasons provide lush scenery and fewer visitors.
Responsible & Sustainable Tourism
Your visit directly supports gorilla conservation and local communities. A significant portion of your permit fee contributes to habitat protection, ranger training, anti-poaching initiatives, and community development projects.

Things that set Mgahinga apart
Smaller Groups, More Intimate Encounters
Uganda limits gorilla trekking to small groups (8 people), per habituated family, but we go a step further, organizing private or priority treks whenever possible to enhance your experience. Fewer trekkers mean a quieter, more personal hour with the gorillas.
High Success Tracking Rate
Uganda consistently reports a very high success rate (of up to 97%), for locating mountain gorilla families. With expert rangers and advance coordination, your chances of encountering a habituated group are exceptionally strong.
