Traveler’s Resort

Being one of the oldest hotels in Uganda, with a history steeped in gorilla conservation, Travellers Rest becomes a must for your gorilla trekking in the area.

It boasts an impressive list of guests. To name just one: Dian Fossey, who even called this her second home.

Built in 1955 by Walter Baumgartel, the so-called father of gorilla tourism, it quickly became a meeting place for people interested in the mountain gorillas.

It was entirely renovated in 1999, but charm of the somewhat colonial style still remains up to today.
