Fodor's Expert Review Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

A standout property in Buhoma, northern Bwindi, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp delivers impeccable service in a classic forest setting. Ten canvas tents on dark-wood platforms occupy their own private clearings inside the impenetrable forest itself. Cow-horn and glass-bead decorated cushions adorn twin queen beds; matching white robes and a hair dryer (a rare find in Bwindi) hang in the en suite bathroom. Walkie-talkies make it all too easy to order up drinks without leaving your tent; and the candelit bathtub offering forest views and complimentary Africology bathcare products is delightful. If that doesn't help you unwind, the mini-spa will: facials, mani/pedis, and various massages are offered in a secluded room. The main lounge and restaurant offer superlative fare, with a popular high tea station offering hot drinks and fruit smoothies every afternoon.
