Traveler's Rest Hotel

Travellers' Rest is an excellent place for tourists visiting the endangered mountain gorilla in Southwest Uganda. The hotel, built in a somewhat colonial style, has ten rooms and one suite at reasonable prices. The garden is home to many birds, and in the evenings, when it gets cooler, visitors can warm themselves at the fireplace in the lounge.In the restaurant every evening a fine 4 course dinner is served. "Gorillas in the Mist" researcher Dian Fossey stayed here many times, calling it her "second home". The hotels offers a massage-service, perfect after a long gorilla trekking.

Travelers Rest Hotel

Reviewed By Fairydreamer

It was quite a drive from Kibale to Kisoro. I stayed 1 night only a Travelers Rest Hotel. Very friendly and welcoming and had a lovely dinner. They even packed lunch for me for the next day after breakfast for Gorilla Trekking at Mgahinga. More or less 45min-1 hour to reach Mgahinga because if bad road neqr trekking from Volcano rocks etc. I can surely recommend anyone to stay there without any hick-ups. Room was clean and safe for a solo ladies traveller.

Mondi is a good place to be with friends. We enjoyed the cool atmosphere as we did an acoustic worship set at their spacious premises. Thinking about indoor or outdoor events, think about Mondi Kisoro.

L'Héritage guest house s'appelle désormais le Sabyinyo guest house. Central, ce modeste hôtel offre des chambres très propres à des prix défiant toute concurrence !! Les chambres disposent d'une salle de bain. Le patron est absolument adorable toujours disponible et prêt à rendre service et à donner des conseils. Je recommande vraiment cet hôtel.

Decent base to head out on a Gorilla trek

Reviewed By callcrookie

I stayed here for two-nights as part of an overland Intrepid trip. It was a good decision to upgrade into a room which was clean, well-kept and provided a good night of sleep. The bathroom was also clean and had a decent shower. A small bar was available on-site, whilst there was also a good coffee shop / outside bar in town. I would recommend staying here when planning to head out and see the Gorillas.

Gorilla Heights Lodge-Bwindi

Our high-end and exclusive luxury lodge guarantees you proximity to the Nkuringo and Rushaga gorilla familes for a thrilling gorilla tracking experience. The lodge also promises the most breathtaking views of the Bwindi impenetrable forest on one side and the Virunga ranges on the other. We have blended the luxuries of nature in our environment with modern architecture. At Gorilla Heights Lodge, you are assured of the most breathtaking #SightsOfBwindi, showcasing nature's richest blends. The horizon, as seen from the lodge, hovers over the ceiling of Bwindi Impenetrable forest canopy, creating a surprising blend of a blue & green hued skyline. As the sun rises over the horizon, it casts prisms-of-light through the misty-blanket covering this vast canopy. The lodge sits on a 12-acre piece of land, decorated with 15 luxurious cottages, a heated swimming pool and a spa with steam & sauna. Modern green roofs incline to seamlessly blend with the surrounding nature. Supported by orange steel pillars, they shelter wide terraces that guarantee panoramic views of Bwindi Impenetrable forest for each of the cottages and the Virunga ranges from the dining facility. The ingenious use of miniature brick-stones and black volcanic stones mined from Kyambura and Kisoro respectively, is seen on the exterior walls, walkways and wall skirting. The rooms warm up with heat from the gas burners and electric heaters, giving guests the perfect opportunity to cozy-up in the interior lounges with a cup of African coffee or tea. Gorilla Heights Lodge is located in Nkuringo, Kisoro district in South Western Uganda. The lodge provides easy access with high quality transportation services from Kisoro airstrip, Rwanda boarder, Kigali Airport and Entebbe international airport depending on the client's needs. The distance from Kampala to Kisoro is 483.6km and Entebbe to Kisoro is 472.1km.

SIMPLY UNFORGETTABLE

Reviewed By jMrsK2022

Since the excellent location, surroundings and ammenities are well written about in previous reviews, I will focus on SERVICE. The service is so luxuriously breathtaking that one must pinch oneself to realise it isn't all a dream. It is refreshingly UNFORGETTABLE and perfect for a honeymoon, an anniversary, a family vacation or just time away from the hustle and bustle. The surprise elements for our anniversary were so well executed that, several weeks later, we are still marvelling at this gift (of a place) that kept on giving. Simply unforgettable!

Mt. Muhabura Climbers Rest Camp

Perfect place to stay before trekking

Reviewed By 649tiphainec

At just few minutes walking distance from the briefing point for the mgahinga gorilla trekking, this lodge is the perfect place to stay before the gorilla experience. Not only because it is the closest, but also because the place is very pleasant, with spacious and comfortable rooms; and the service is great. The staff there are very welcoming and take good care of their guests. The food was really good too. I would recommend this place without hesitation.
