Kaara is a truly magical place to stay for exploring Bwindi National park. We were welcomed by Wilfred and his team and then had an amazing and very warm welcome welcome by the local village culture group who performed music and dancing to tell us about their culture! This was the best welcome we have ever had to a hotel! Throughout our stay, all of the staff worked tirelessly to make us comfortable - from cleaning our boots after a days hiking (thank you Moses!) to setting up breakfast on the terrace to watch the sunrise! A particular highlight was a short sunset hike, led by Barnabus to give us panoramic views of the sunset and volcano! Thank you Barnabus - we really enjoyed this and appreciated you taking the time to walk with us! The staff lit us a fire each evening at the fire pit so we could have a drink as the sun went down. The chefs did an excellent job and the food was great! They also prepared delicious lunches for us on the days we were out hiking. Before we stayed, Peter was extremely helpful in sorting out our Gorilla tracking permits - even going to the bank when the payment was delayed and emailing them to us ahead of time! Having the permits sorted helped everything run smoothly for our days gorilla tracking. You do need to print the permits in advance so much sure you do this before travelling! Whilst staying at Kaara, we also did the Batwa Forest cultural experience (booked through the UWA) - we were unsure what to expect from this and were sceptical as it seemed to be a lot of money, however we were so glad we did! We hiked through the forest with some of the Batwa community who showed us about how they lived in the forest as we went. They showed us where they lived, how they made fire, climbed trees for fruit, caught animals and many more things. It was amazing to see how resourceful they were and also how happy and comfortable they were in the forest. I would recommend doing this to anyone who has an extra day after gorilla trekking.

The staff is so very friendly, they gave us such a warm welcome. The food is great and ohhhhh, the location is one you can only dream of!! I will miss this place 💚

price quality the best choice you can ever make. the hospitality of the staff goes beyond the standard experience. We did a gorilla trek where everything was perfectly arranged. thank you to Richard, Fred and the team

Perfect place for a Bwindi Buhoma Gate and personal very helpful to arrange any thing you need

Excellent place to stay souranded by beautiful nature

The service of the staff was amazing, they were ready for everything we could need, even cleaning our shoes after the gorilla trekking! The food was also outstanding. The start of the trekking is also only 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes walk.

We had a really great experience with the gorilla guest house! Cylia, the manager, is super friendly and helpful with everything. Also the price is super fair.

They managed the gorilla permit for us with less than 1 week in advance and without any extra fee. Fireplace every night, amazing service and amazing meals (full board for just +30$ per person). First night we pitched our tent but since it's cold and we wanted to stay longer and do some other hikes around + batwa pygmes, we got a self-contained room for a good price and it felt like high luxury for the price we paid. Last day we saw a gorilla from the chill area, I have no words to describe this piece of heaven, thank you guys!!
