About Rushaga Gorilla Havens
Rushaga Gorilla Havens is a well-regarded midrange lodge positioned near the Rushaga gorilla trekking trailhead in the southern sector of Bwindi. The lodge offers fourteen en-suite cottages arranged around landscaped gardens, with views over the surrounding hills. The Rushaga sector is notable for having more habituated gorilla families than any other Bwindi sector, and Rushaga Gorilla Havens is one of the most popular bases for the Gorilla Habituation Experience — a four-hour encounter with a semi-habituated group available only here. The restaurant serves reliable Ugandan and international food; the bar and lounge are comfortable places to debrief after a trek.
