My lodge was comfortable and spacious, with a long balcony giving views across the forests and mountains. The staff were all lovely, going out of their way to ensure I was happy with everything, and the food was good and very plentiful. 

The drive to reach the Lodge is on very rutted and windy roads for about 45 minutes. The setting is beautiful and very convenient for gorilla trekking, only 5 minutes away. Wifi is only available in the restaurant area, and even then it is not the best, and given its mountain location, there is no mobile signal so communication is quite restricted. But this is the first lodge I’ve stayed at with plenty of hot water!

Very nice lodges near gorilla trekking

We stayed here for just one night unfortunately as we would have loved to stay longer. The staff does everything to help with planning trips. They work with very devoted guids. For us Elisabeth arranged our guide Christmas who took us to the waterfall and learned us a lot of birding in Uganda. He also took care of the last minute permits for the gorilla tracking.  The chalets are beautiful and very well installed with good beds and a spacious and nice bathroom. Shower with hot water without having problems. Food was also good.  And of course the beautiful vieuws of the forest. Just 5 minutes to the gate for the Gorillatracking. Highly recommanded!

We can highly recommend this place. Not only is it very close to the entrance of Bwindi Ruhaga sector, it's also set in a beatifull surrounding. The staff does everything to fullfill all your wishes. Nothing is asked to much. Elisabeth arranged a wonderfull guide Christmas who took us on a bird- and waterfallhike. He also arranged our last minute permits for the gorillatracking. The chalets are most beautifull and spacious with comfortable beds and a nice bathroom with a nice shower. As we went on the tracking the day we left we could use the room even after noon to talk a shower. They even washed the car and cleaned our shoes. Food is good, packed lunch is very good taken care of  with even nuts and a lovely cake besides some fruit, 2 bottles of water per person, an egg etc...  good to know: the name has changed into Rushaga gorilla camp. 

Highly recommended

An amazing lodge, you are made to feel welcome the moment you step out of your vehicle.   My room was lovely and comfortable with plenty of hot water in the bathroom, I even had a balcony overlooking the forest, so peaceful and calm.   

The restaurant was spacious and nicely decorated, even had little fires lit one evening which made it cosy.  The first night was a buffet with a good choice of foods, the second evening it was table service and again lovely food.

The last night I was there it happened to be my birthday. Wow, the staff went out of their way to make the evening so special for me. Firstly I arrive back at my room to find it had been so beautifully decorated, such a lovely surprise.  Then towards the end of the evening meal, the staff came in signing, dancing and bringing me a birthday cake.  I was totally blown away by the kindness of Elizabeth and her staff, it made the perfect end to a perfect day of gorilla trekking.  This was certainly one birthday I will never forget.   I would like to say a huge BIG THANK YOU to ELIZABETH AND HER STAFF for the kindness their showed and for going above and beyond the call of duty.

It you are looking a great place to stay, then you will not be disappointed with Rushaga Gorilla Lodge. Definitely value for money 

Beautiful Lodge in the Mountains

It is a bear getting to this area for gorilla trekking but once here, you’ll feel thankful for the Rushaga Gorilla Camp. The views are stunning here and there are ample places to relax, catch your breath, and take in the beauty that surrounds you. The room had everything that we needed and food was easily accessible (if average). The team at Rushaga took excellent care of us. Our only regret is that we’d not added an extra day at the property after our trek.

Great value and great views

Well, this place is IT! I had the most incredible stay here, and of course, an incredible day of gorilla trekking!  Rushaga Gorilla Lodge is beautiful, very clean, and incredible staff who will get you anything you need. The food is delicious and after a day of gorilla trekking, they even have massage therapists on staff who are excellent! They have two pools, a beautiful bar and outside seating area, and even pack you a lunch for your day of trekking or the day you leave. They truly have thought of everything!

Rushaga Gorilla Lodge - a wonderful experience!

Spent two nights at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge (booked through African Pearl Safaris), pre and post Gorilla trekking.  Our room was very spacious, clean and the view from the balcony was beautiful.  The bathroom was very large and clean, though it could use a refresh (a little dated), but everything worked so it didn't bother us.  

Our meals were very good and their packed lunch for the trek was more than enough.  They offered all day complimentary coffee, tea and hot coco in the main lodge area (where there is wifi and board games).  Staff was very friendly and even helped us clean our muddy boots after our trek.  I don't think my boots were ever that clean!   

They have a large hot tub and pool that was being cleaned and serviced while we were there.  We didn't mind that it wasn't open, it was cold and rainy during our visit.  The lodge brought in a local dance troupe for a short show and they sold some crafts.  The location of the lodge was very close (15 minutes) from the meeting point to start the trek.  

Nice lodge in Bwindi NP!  Great place to start and end your Gorilla adventure! 

Rashaga Gorilla Lodge was wonderful. I stayed here for 2 nights. I went gorilla trekking, and the lodge was close to the Bwindi Forest. The trekking was difficult for me, and I returned to the lodge very muddy and sore all over. Patience, one of the staff who worked in the spa gave me a massage when I returned. It was one of the best massages I have ever had. She also graciously took my clothes and shoes and washed them. They returned to me the next day spotless. Simon who worked in the restaurant was great. He was very accommodating and professional. The dancing before supper was a real bonus. Overall, I would highly recommend this lodge. 

Ngoni Safaris Uganda, great choice of lodges.

My sister and I stayed at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge for two nights when visiting Bwindi for gorilla tracking (an incredible experience). The lodge is set in a beautiful location with multiple lovely spots to relax in. We were made very welcome by the team who went above and beyond to help us out and were generally a pleasure to be around. The chef cooks up delicious meals and the bar is well stocked with cold local beers. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Stunning location and lovely staff

Our jaws dropped when we walked into the Rwigi room - so spacious with a gorgeous balcony too! Love the hot water bottles for the bed at night too. We enjoyed the free tea time at the restaurant and 6pm Batwa community presentation. Dinner and breakfast were good and the packed lunch post gorilla trek filling. Would recommend for a good nights sleep pre-gorilla trekking!
