SANCTUARY GORILLA FOREST CAMP c/o Mombasa Road, next to Plaza 2000 PO Box 41789 00100, Nairobi, Kenya Tel: +254 (0)20 6950002 Fax: +254 (0)20 695 0320 Email: kenya@sanctuaryretreats.com www.sanctuaryretreats.com Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is located in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the natural habitat for just over half the world’s last surviving population of mountain gorillas. High in the forest, this is the only camp in the National Park. It is the perfect base for tracking and meeting the gorillas that live here, and it is not unusual for the gorillas to actually come into the camp itself. Guests can dine out under the stars, or shelter in the warm central cottage. The eight large en-suite ‘tents’ have wooden floors, two comfortable queen-sized beds and the amazing experience of a bathtub looking out onto the forest. As part of the Sanctuary Retreats Group, Gorilla Forest Camp has a complete commitment to conservation, meaning guests can visit the area knowing they are leaving no lasting footprint.
