Gorilla Forest Camp - Uganda - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Gorilla Forest Camp is a permanent luxury tented camp nestled in the mist-swathed rainforests of a mountainside in the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The exclusive location - the sole property within the park's boundaries - affords Gorilla Forest Camp the status of being the ideal base for gorilla tracking, primate viewing and birding. The fertile 331 square kilometres of the park contain 113 species of mammals (including a herd of the rare forest elephant), 200 species of butterfly, over 360 species of birds and a prodigious 324 tree varieties. In addition to this incredible diversity, Bwindi is home to seven species of primates, attracting the attention of international conservation efforts, of which the most endangered is that elusive giant of Africa, the Mountain Gorilla. Only 600 of these magnificent animals remain worldwide, and Bwindi is home to just over half of them.

Accommodation is in 8 double tents raised on wooden platforms, each with en-suite facilities and unusually: a bathtub looking out onto the forest. Each tent has a spacious wooden veranda where guests can relax, enjoy a private meal and absorb the exotic mystery of the surrounding rainforest.
