Safari Lodges in Uganda & Rwanda
Where you sleep shapes the whole trip. These are the lodges we book, chosen for location first: the right gorilla sector, the right side of the river, the shortest drive at dawn.
Matched to your permit
In Bwindi we book a lodge in the same sector as your gorilla permit, so trek mornings start calmly.
