A short walk from the meeting point for our gorilla tracking adventure (in our case the Kahungye family) the camp is perfectly located. The surroundings are stunning, adding to the overall experience in Bwindi. The bandas are small but comfortable (though there are slight differences between the bandas). Staff is very friendly and helpful, as is the local owner (Silver).... More

we had a lovely time there. The bandas are basic but clean. the shower and the hot water with the cup was definitely a pleasure. the food here was very good. The garden is really wonderful, it will pass many birds. The camp itself is located in the valley of Rushaga. The residents there are all very nice and we... More

Ideally located at just 5 minutes walking distance from the meeting point, nshongi camp is the perfect base for visiting the gorillas. In addition, Silver, the owner of this lovely camp can arrange you a visit at the Batwa people and the waterfall located in the nearby. Thanks to Charity, Hope and Bright (he is the cook and will prepare... More

Perfect location, friendly staff and very peaceful. Simple and clean bandas right on the edge of the park. Saw monkeys and a wonderful selection of birds. The night time sounds were intriguing. A great 'get away from it all' place, with a fine local community nearby.

I took my clients here for Gorilla trekking and spent a night there myself. They had given out the room for drivers and guides to someone else yet there were no other guests. So the manager decided to give me a cottage instead which was very nice of him. Compared to the other accommodations in this area this one costs... More

Silver created a wonderful, peaceful spot with the Nshongi camp. It's located in a small valley within a completely green surrounding. Most of our accomodations during our Uganda trip have been something special, each in it's own way asn style. But the 2 nights in Nshongi camp will really be unforgettable. After arrival in the village, one has to make... More

Nshongi Camp was definitely one of my favorite places in Uganda and my stay there was really pleasant and relaxed. Bandas were basic but clean and comfortable. Food was absolutely the best I got during my whole time in Uganda, and although full board was a bit pricey compared to other places I visited, I was happy to pay for... More

Nshongi Camp is definitely one of the nicest and most unique places to stay throughout Uganda! Sometimes you see a photo of a place on a website, which looks really beautiful and then when you get there you get disappointed; well this is NOT the case with Nshongi!

The Nshongi Camp is a beautiful garden directly on the border of the Bwindi Impenetrable Nationalpark. The accomodation is pretty basic but very clean. You will have a bed in a Banda. Toilets and Showers are outside and the stuff provides some hot water if you want. If you have booked full board the stuff will prepare some nice food... More
