Bwindi Activities
As well as gorilla trekking, there are many activities to enjoy in and around the lodge, although it's perfectly fine if you choose to just relax on your terrace to soak up the sights and sounds or book yourself a massage with our expert masseuse.
Bird Watching
in Bwindi
Uganda has over 1,000 species of birds, 350 of which can be found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, including 23 species which are endemic to the Albertine Rift. A keen birder can spot up to 100 species in a single day, making it one of Africa’s top birding destinations.
Birds you can see include the African Green Broadbill, Grauer's Rush Warbler, Chaplin’s Flycatcher, Dusky Crimsonwing and the White-tailed Blue Flycatcher.
