Staying at Buhoma Lodge was so so special for my family. It was the perfect location and lodge for our gorilla trekking adventure. The rooms are nestled into the woods and have a wonderful view of the mountains. The bathrooms are very special, one of the coolest showers we have seen. It was great to be able to walk to the gorilla trekking site and the village just from the lodge. Another highlight was the main center. We spent lots of time drinking tea and reading all there books around the cozy fire pit. Food was AMAZING, compliments to the chef. Our favorite activities during our stay were of course gorilla tracking and the village walk. The whole experience felt very genuine. The only complaint would be the stairs to the rooms, haha they were very slippery at times. Overall, incredible stay at Buhoma lodge.…

We stayed here for two nights while gorilla trekking and were very happy with our choice. The lodge has a very intimate and comfortable atmosphere. The meals were consistently excellent and everyone was friendly. We enjoyed sitting in the main room of the lodge enjoying tea and cookies or appetizers and visiting with the other guests. We weren't sure whether to pack gators for the trek and were glad we didn't because the lodge provided them. Thanks to all there for a wonderful stay!

I travel a lot but rarely write reviews--making an exception here. By far the best hotel experience I've ever had. Just for context, in my two weeks travel in Uganda I stayed in 8-high end-hotels. I can not emphasize enough how Buhoma Lodge customer experience was by far the best one of them all. The very friendly staff attention to details is remarkable, amazing food and the serene surroundings. You get complimentary massage after gorilla trekking. How wonderful is that? I will tell all my friends about it. I highly recommend it! The experience reminded me of this quote "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou

Loved my stay at Buhoma Lodge. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food, which to be honest I came in with pretty low expectations was excellent. The rooms are modest but open and airy. Beds are very comfortable and all rooms have views of the forest. I had l'hoest monkeys tapping on the screens when I was in the bathroom. Keep in mind this is not the four seasons, you're in the middle of a jungle but if you want the four seasons, go to Bali and indulge. If you want to experience the Ugandan jungle and all its glory, Buhoma is where it's at. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
