Here are some of the budget lodge and campsites that will provide you with the best services to enjoy your Gorilla Safaris in Bwindi.
Wagtail Eco Safari Camp
This is located outside Bwindi but offers good quality service accommodation to clients tracking the Gorilla Groups of Nkuringo, Kahungye and Bitukura. While at the Camp, you can spot very many bird species as well as participating in community walks and nature walks around the Lodge
Buhoma Community Bandas
This is yet another inexpensive accommodation for your stay in Bwindi. The Bandas are found in the Buhoma section and are ideal for clients who are tracking Gorilla groups in Buhoma. There are both self contained Bandas and bandas with shared facilities.
Bwindi View Bandas
Still located in the Buhoma section of the Park and ideal for tourists tracking the Gorilla groups of Buhoma. The lodge offers you a clear view of the place and also great opportunities for a community tour are available. The Bandas are not self contained hence ideal for back packers and other low budget travelers.
3 Way Gorilla Resort
This is located in Kisoro town and tourists who are only tracking Gorilla groups in the south (Nkuringo) can have a stay at this Resort. From the resort, local community cultural performances can be done from here and therefore visitor participation and interaction with the locals is rampant.
However much the camps and lodges are budget, they are all secure in terms of security and there is no reason of fearing to book your budget Gorilla safari through span safaris to this very destination. Both Hotel and Gorilla Safari booking should be made at least 3 months in advance since Gorilla permits are on a very high demand in some seasons like the peak season which starts from late June to September and December to February.
