Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp 

Overview

Experience ancient Africa within unmatched sophistication

The ecologically sensitive Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is nestled right in the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in south western Uganda. Remote and atmospheric, this mountain sanctuary blends in seamlessly with the dazzling Ugandan landscape and, enviously positioned within the national park, guests are only moments away from the start of their gorilla trekking journey of a lifetime.

Unparalleled encounters with Uganda’s critically endangered mountain gorillas await when you stay at this opulent retreat. One may not even need to venture far as the camp is frequently visited by gorilla families due to its special location. Apart from gorilla trekking, other exciting activities include birding and nature walks in search of Bwindi’s other extraordinary creatures including the rare forest elephant, giant forest hogs and black and white colobus monkeys. A Batwa tribe experience is also not to be missed where you can learn about and interact with the local Batwa community. Expect fabulous music performances and hunting and gathering demonstrations.

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp elevates remote camp living to new heights, providing unmatched privacy and space in the ancient rainforest in one of Africa’s most remarkable backdrops. Modern yet classic in style, only ten private luxury tents make up this memorable retreat. Each tent is furnished with natural materials and equipped with indigenous prints. With so few tents, the camp maintains an intimate, chic feel, enabling guests to experience ancient Africa at its best without compromising on luxury.
