Discover Engagi Lodge: A Forest Haven in Bwindi forests

Nestled on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Engagi Lodge offers travelers a serene retreat with breathtaking views of the forest canopy. This midrange lodge is built with locally sourced materials—eucalyptus wood, banana fiber thatch, and native stone—blending seamlessly into its lush surroundings.

Engagi Lodge features eight spacious en-suite cottages, each tucked into the foliage for privacy and tranquility. Guests can choose between twin or double beds, enjoy hot showers, and relax on private verandahs with panoramic forest views. The lodge’s open-fronted main building houses a cozy bar, dining area, and a large outdoor viewing deck—perfect for unwinding after a day of gorilla trekking.

The lodge is ideally located just a short walk from the Buhoma trailhead, making it a convenient base for gorilla tracking adventures. Meals are prepared by experienced chefs who cater to dietary preferences, including vegetarian options. Solar power and eco-friendly wood-burning boilers ensure a sustainable stay, while a backup generator and secure parking add comfort and convenience.

Whether you’re here for wildlife encounters or forest hikes, Engagi Lodge offers a peaceful, authentic experience in the heart of Uganda’s gorilla country. It’s a favorite among travelers for its warm hospitality, stunning scenery, and proximity to the park’s headquarters.
