Want to know another great, unique activity in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park that is unpopular but amazing and less explored? Consider bush breakfasts.
Despite being more common in Savannah parks, bush breakfasts can also be organized in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, not so far away from the lodge.
Having a breakfast picnic out in nature is a good way to complement your stay at a particular gorilla lodge. However, some factors have to be considered. The view of the surroundings matters a lot; meaning the choice of the gorilla sector is crucial to this.
Nkuringo undoubtedly has the best views among all sectors, and organizing a bush breakfast in this particular part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a great plus. It even gets better when you organize it very early in the morning when the misty views from the mountains are still intact.
Another great sector is Buhoma. You could choose a lonely spot towards the western side of the sector for this if your lodge allows it. You do not have to be along the busy areas of the region. However, all this is constrained by the current arrangements of the lodge.
Some lodges may already have specific spots where they dine guests in the bush and may not be comfortable enough to change; while others might be open to changes on request.
Ruhija is great, just as Rushaga, but it might be hard to get the best views for this activity. Considering that you are in Bwindi, the views will still be great but not as good as the ones you would get from Buhoma and Nkuringo sectors.
You can choose a luxury or mid-range lodge for this. It doesn’t really matter! However, most budget lodges might not deliver a superb experience.
Most people talk about bush breakfasts in general but do not mind the quality of the breakfast served. The views, arrangement, and quality of the meal matter so much and shouldn’t be ignored.

With a good meal, everything falls into place. Nothing beats the feeling of having a lonely picnic breakfast. It makes you appreciate your trip even more from the lodge aspect of it; just as it should be.
So what are some of the great lodges to organize bush breakfasts in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park? I would go for Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge, Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, Silverback Lodge, Mahogany Springs Lodge, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, or Buhoma Lodge any day.
However, not all these lodges might organize this activity. It is crucial to ask the lodge if they do, and if they do not, try to request it. If they can’t accept, you can personally request it.
