Kyambura Gorge Lodge

CEDARBERG RATING

Luxury

Overview

The most luxurious and comfortable accommodation in this area. Kyambura Gorge Lodge is situated at the eastern edge of Queen Elizabeth National Park, with unparalleled views over the national park and onto the Rwenzori Mountains.

Aside from the elephants, tree climbing lions and other animals and bird life in this region, Kyambura Gorge is home to wild chimpanzees, and the lodge is in the perfect position from which to start a primate tracking experience.

The lodge and cottages have been built in a complimentary style, using environmentally friendly local materials fitted by local community workmen. Also, Uganda and African artists were commissioned to make pieces to brighten and give a feeling of place.

The seven spacious, self-contained grass-thatched cottages all have views over the park from the rooms and their private balconies.

The restaurant and the lounge are open towards a sundowner deck, the beautiful gardens and nearby swimming pool. The kitchen features international and local cuisine, prepared with local ingredients and organic vegetables from the lodge’s own garden.

Guest Bandas

Eight unique timber or brick guest bandas have been built with with iron or thatch roofs (3 doubles and 5 twins) reflecting the local building style. Bandas are individually named after the Kyambura Gorge chimpanzees. All rooms have fully en-suite bathrooms, double vanity, showers with hot & cold running water (solar heated) and biodegradable hand & body wash. Rooms have walk-in mosquito nets, 240v lighting (with emergency solar lamp & torch provided), plus a private balcony offering spectacular views.
