About Buhoma Community Rest Camp
Buhoma Community Rest Camp is the original community-owned tourism facility at Buhoma, established in the early days of gorilla trekking to ensure local people captured direct benefit from tourism. The camp offers basic but clean bandas and a camping ground within a short walk of the park gate and Buhoma trailhead. All meals are prepared by community members using local produce. Revenue is pooled into community development funds that support healthcare, education, and infrastructure. This is the most affordable accommodation option at Buhoma and the choice with the most direct community impact per night spent.
