Kyambura Gorge Lodge

In a converted old coffee processing plant sitting in a green hillside, Kyambura Gorge Lodge is an eclectic base for an adventurous safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

There are eight airy bandas (traditional huts) to choose from, each reflecting local building styles and featuring private balconies that offer sweeping views of the rolling savanna and the distant Rwenzori Mountains, or the kyambura gorge. The stylish bandas weave a contemporary theme throughout their rooms, adorned with local artefacts that comprise part of the attractive decoration.

The main lodge – which was once the processing plant – features a colourful living area and outdoor decking area. Here a large pool glimmers in the sun, ready for you to dip your toes in and admire the mountain vistas.

Kyambura Gorge Lodge also includes a personal butler service for every guest. During your stay you’ll enjoy local delicacies prepared with fresh ingredients, before indulging further with a rejuvenating massage within either of the two treatment rooms.

The lodge’s main highlight is certainly the experiences: embark on a trek from the lodge along the Fig Tree Trail to venture into the gorge to look for the ‘Lost Chimps of Kyambura’, spot some of the six hundred amazing bird species that call Queen Elizabeth National Park home, visit the Kyambura Eco-tourism project and plant a tree seedling in the wildlife buffer zone, along with much more.
