CTPH Gorilla Conservation Camp is one of the budget accommodation facilities on the edge of the beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The camp offers a stunning panoramic view of the top of the forest. 100% of proceeds from CTPH Gorilla Conservation Camp go toward protecting the mountain gorillas and the health of the surrounding communities.
For those who want to learn and give something back to a local project, CTPH Gorilla Conservation Camp offers rustic and comfortable accommodation for tourists, students and researchers. All profits go towards supporting our gorilla conservation efforts on the ground through the Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) organization.
The camp has a new guest house with four self-contained rooms together with two tents based around a shaded dining area set amongst the trees. Located in Buhoma Village the Gorilla Conservation Camp is near the Batwa village and only 2 km from the entrance to the park.
The camp is adjacent to CTPH’s Gorilla Health and Community Conservation Centre. The centre works in conjunction with Uganda Wildlife Authority to analyze gorilla samples to help prevent the spread of disease between the local population and the gorillas. As a result, this helps to conserve the critically endangered mountain gorillas. The centre also hosts community conservation activities, so you can visit the centre during your stay.
