About Broadbill Forest Camp
Broadbill Forest Camp is named for the African Green Broadbill — one of the most sought-after Albertine Rift endemics and found reliably in the Ruhija forest. The camp offers simple but adequate accommodation for serious birdwatchers and budget gorilla trekkers who want access to the remote eastern sector of Bwindi. Basic en-suite bandas, a dining area, and communal lounge with log fire accommodate the particularly cold nights at Ruhija's altitude. The camp's guiding team has specialist birding expertise unusual among budget properties. For birders, this is one of the best-value options in East Africa.
