Gorilla Mist Camp sits in the Ruhija sector on the southwestern edge of the tracking area, with rooms overlooking the Bwindi forest canopy and the Virunga range; its name derives from the morning mist over the forest valleys. Ruhija is regarded as one of Uganda's best birding areas (23 Albertine Rift endemics cited), and the camp is positioned accordingly.
What sets it apart
The Ruhija sector's trekking base, with a strong birding focus (23 Albertine Rift endemics cited for the area).
Who it suits
Travellers trekking the Oruzogo or Bitukura gorilla families from Ruhija, or birders wanting Ruhija's Albertine Rift endemics.
The essentials
| Country | Uganda |
| Where | Ruhija sector, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, roughly 50 km from Kabale town and 30–42 km from Buhoma (estimates vary by source) |
| Property type | camp (8 rooms) |
| Rooms | 5 grass-thatched bandas plus 3 tented rooms (8 total), corroborated independently by the official site and a park-information site. Two lower-quality directory sites gave conflicting counts (12 rooms, or "3 luxury tented rooms" under a different operator) that appear to conflate this with a different property and were excluded. |
| Malaria | CDC lists malaria transmission as present in all areas of Uganda; prophylaxis is recommended for this trip. |

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
