Staying at the lodge with the best views of Bwindi forest
Overview;
Bwindi forest is divided into 4 sectors, where one can book and stay for any activity that he or she is interested in while in this park. Staying at the lodge in any of these sectors gives you convenient access to the main activities. The four sectors include Ruhija and Buhoma in the northern part of Bwindi. Nkuringo and Rushaga are in the southern part of the park. The main activity is gorilla trekking, which takes place in all four sectors. However, gorilla habituation, which is a 4-hour stay with the semi-habituated mountain gorillas, is done in the southern part of the park between Nkuringo and Rushaga.
