Exact Location
- Destination: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
- Sector: Buhoma sector

Is Buhoma Lodge Inside the Park?
Yes. Inside-park positioning reduces transfer time on trek mornings and immerses guests in Bwindi's forest environment from arrival.
Bwindi Sector Matching
Bwindi has four distinct gorilla trekking hubs — Buhoma (northwest), Ruhija (east), Rushaga (south), and Nkuringo (southwest). Your permit sector and lodge sector must align. Buhoma Lodge serves the Buhoma sector.
Air and Road Access
Charter and scheduled flights land at Kihihi airstrip (northern/eastern Bwindi sectors) or Kisoro airstrip (southern sectors and Lake Mutanda). Road transfers from Entebbe or Kampala typically take 8–10 hours; many itineraries break the journey at Lake Mburo or Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Buhoma Lodge's Buhoma sector location makes it a practical base when your gorilla permit matches this sector.
