Buhoma Community Haven Lodge is a community-run property managed by the Buhoma-Mukono Community Development Association (BMCDA). The lodge opened in 2014 as an upgrade from the original Buhoma Community Rest Camp model, providing a step up in comfort while maintaining community ownership. It sits above Buhoma village with views toward the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The lodge has nine self-contained cottages: eight twin/double cottages and one family cottage, all with en suite bathrooms. Each cottage has a private terrace with forest views. The main building houses a dining area and a lounge where guests can relax between activities. The setting is quiet, with the forest canopy visible from the terraces. Profits from the lodge go back to the BMCDA, supporting local development projects in the Buhoma community. For travelers who want their accommodation costs to benefit the surrounding area directly, Haven Lodge offers a mid-range option with reasonable comfort and a genuine community ownership structure. The lodge is within reach of the Buhoma gorilla trekking briefing point and serves as a practical base for exploring the sector.
