About Buhoma
Buhoma is the storied northern gateway to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the sector where Uganda's gorilla tourism began in 1993. Trailheads leave straight from the lodges into ancient rainforest to meet several habituated gorilla families. Between treks, the Buhoma community walk, waterfall trails and Batwa cultural encounters fill the day, and the village's craft cooperatives channel tourism directly into local schools and clinics.
