When visiting the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (which is about a 10-12-14 hour drive from Kampala) for the gorilla trekking adventures, we stayed at the Gorilla Mist Camp.
Given our late arrival - then early morning departures - I never managed to have more than a few minutes to sit and enjoy the scenic views from the front porch of my lodge. That said, I did enjoy the time we did spend at the Gorilla Mist Camp. I would definitely recommend to prospective gorilla trekkers.

With my driver from Ondaba Safari - Muhereza Callis. I will write separately about the treacherous drive up the mountain. THANKS to Callis - we made it up and back down the mountain and to Kampala safely

| this was my room attendant - pictured here bringing my luggage back to our van - on his head - which is how people carry their loads |
 |
| a nice fireplace where guests can hang out after dinner - this is in the dining room area |
 |
| the lodge grounds were very well manicured |
 |
| Up in the mountains the nights were cool; no central heating in the lodges, but with the blankets, this Florida girl did fine. As I nestled into bed and rolled over to get comfortable - much to my surprise - I felt something FURRY. I jumped out of bed and turned on the lights so fast!! As it turned out, my room attendant had prepared my bed with this water bottle LOL It was definitely cozy, even without the central heating. |
