Plan it well

Match your lodge to the sector named on your permit: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga or Nkuringo. Tell us your walking preferences before we propose your route. Trekking takes place on uneven forest terrain.

Wildlife moves freely; sightings are never guaranteed. Activities depend on permits, conditions and availability.
