My third stay at Nshongi and this time for a whole week. Fabulous staff especially Barnabas the manager and Moses. Barnabas was fantastic and so so helpful, organising everything that I mentioned even before I asked eg took me twice to a different lodge for WiFi as Nshongi’s wasn’t working, arranged boda for me to the habituation start point and to Kabale, went to the village to change money to smaller denomination notes for me, immediately found the birder Remegious when I said that I’d like to do birding, regularly brought tea flasks to the platform when I spent time there and was really accommodating with my meals. Moses as ever was just lovely and very attentive —he insisted on cleaning my boots and washing my hiking kit twice (and would have done more!)—they’ve never been so clean!! And turning down the bed each evening and leaving small gifts for me and sorting hot water daily for showers and just always checking that I was OK. The location is superb—close to the park gate but extremely private, with its own swamp and associated bird and animal life and a fabulous platform to enjoy it from. The highlight for me was Barnabas and Moses waking me one night to see the elephant that was walking through our swamp. So exciting. There was also a regular sitatunga grazing, hadada ibis wading through the streams and one day SIX blue turaco also enjoying the streams plus endless bird species in the garden and a visit from a juvenile harrier hawk and L’Hoest’s monkeys, blue monkeys and black and white colobus….. The rooms are fabulous—very large and airy with huge bathrooms and a lovely balcony to enjoy the tranquility from as well as the platform. Eric the chef made some excellent tasty vegetarian meals for me , thank you. I would 100% recommend Nshongi Camp and definitely stay for as many days as you can.

Such a nice place managed by really nice staff.

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.

Surrounded by nature.

Friendliest staff one could wish for, beautiful view, hot shower (!), excellent food, nice fireplace, short distance to Rushaga entrance, quick to respond to questions regarding the booking

The manager and tye team are super helpful and professional....our clients had the best stay Will surely be back

Exceptionally helpful and kind staff, especially the owner Ivan. He showed us around town and even took us on a small hike and bike tour.

A wonderful place with an excellent price-performance ratio. Cylia and her colleague provided some of the best and friendliest service I have ever had and dinner was also great. From the terrace you will have a beautiful view in the morning, the drive to the gorilla trekking site takes about 10 minutes. The basic room I stayed in was clean, had 24h electricity, Wi-Fi (even if you don't need it - there is very good mobile internet in the area) and everything else you may need (including intact mosquito nets). I felt very comfortable here.

The location was absolutely beautiful, the staff was very serviceable and humble, we loved the campfire that welcomed us, and the food was great.
