A fantastic newer budget camp set up by the community, here you get sweeping views of Bwindi from its bucolic hilltop location above Buhoma. Accommodation is in raised self-contained safari tents with porches and ample rooms with hardwood floors and mosquito nets. It's popular with researchers and all proceeds go to gorilla conservation and community projects.
