The head of the operations of the marasa lodges said that the hotel is going to be refurbished to the higher standards. This, he said will give value for the money as the price will be slightly higher than it has been.

He added that to observe the gorillas, visitors need a seasoned guide and a permit secured well in advance, usually by the a Uganda tour operator.
Those who have experienced gorilla tracking in their natural habitat invariably say,It’s the thrill of a lifetime.
Bwindi became a Game Reserve as well as a Forest Reserve with its size increasing to 127 square miles. Then, thirty years later, as its attraction for gorilla tourism was recognized, Bwindi was elevated to a National Park. That same year habituation of two gorilla families began, and two years later the “Mubare” group was made available to tourists.Another family was habituated the following year. More groups have since been habituated, and some were even split into two to increase the number of families. There are currently 4 gorilla families in that sector.
Other activities in the area include hike in the park, meet the diminutive-sized indigenous peoples once called Pygmies through the Batwa Trail, tour the local Bwindi Community Hospital, and stroll through the community gardens.
Silverback Lodge is an hour’s flight from Entebbe. It can also be reached directly from Kampala by road on an entire day trip or from Kigali on a six-hour drive.
