Mwebesa House offers eight comfortable en-suite guest bedrooms in Buhoma, with views of the Bwindi Impenetrable forest, home to most of the mountain gorilla population of Uganda.

The wonderful thing about staying with us at Mwebesa House is that as you stay you are giving back. The room fees that you pay go straight in to supporting the women of Buhoma, who daily face the challenges of poverty, HIV and domestic violence.
