SafariRoamer
Gorilla Safari Lodge (operated by Crystal Lodges Uganda — not to be confused with "Rushaga Gorilla Camp"/"Rushaga Gorilla Lodge," a different business, or "Ruhija Gorilla Safari Lodge," a different sector) sits at the forest's edge near the Rushaga trekking gate. Rooms are connected by cobbled paths with wooden bannisters and named after gorillas or gorilla family groups. The lodge also offers access to the full-day gorilla habituation experience alongside standard trekking.
What sets it apart
The largest room count of any Bwindi lodge in this list, 5 minutes' walk from the Rushaga trekking briefing point.
Who it suits
Larger groups trekking from Rushaga, or travellers doing the full-day gorilla habituation experience.
The essentials
| Country | Uganda |
| Where | Edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Rushaga sector, a 5-minute walk to the trekking briefing point |
| Property type | lodge (21 rooms) |
| Rooms | 21 rooms, each named after an individual gorilla or gorilla family group, per the official site. One third-party aggregator states "8 cottages," which appears to conflate this property with a different, similarly-named lodge — the official site's explicit 21-room statement is treated as authoritative. |
| 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.
