We are a spot for travelers who may wish to explore the twin lakes Chahafi and Kayumbu, and as a base for tracking Mountain Gorillas, golden monkeys or hiking the virunga ranges that include: Mt.Muhavura, Mt.

We had such a good time, the staff were so warm, the bed and the cabin were so comfortable and the serene ambiance. The food was excellent. The animals around the lodge too were amazing to see. Room for improvement on electricity issues.

Chimpanzee Forest Lodge.

Excellent with great views and birds

Reviewed By Explore38917176409

Loved the place. Main house is British colonial so typical of an estate managers house that you see all over Southern Africa in Zambia, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe for example. Typical British architecture complete with concrete floors coated with "stop polish". The eating area has beautiful views over the tea plantations and the palm tree in front gets regular visits from rare palm nut Vultures (great if you are a birder). Guest rooms clean and once more beautiful views. Highly recommend this place

Reviewed By jkissing2018

We spent two nights at the Ihamba in February 2022. This is a smaller, mid-range lodge located inside Queen Elizabeth. We saw Elephants and Hippopotamus from the lodge and our room. The pool was excellently maintained and inviting after long days of travel. The menu is limited but excellent and flexible to guests travel schedules. We have a return visit with the whole family planned for June 2022.

We spent one night at Kikonko lodge, it is an ideal stopover when driving from Murchison Falls to Kibale forest, the lodge was very nice with friendly staff and the rooms were neat and tidy and comfortable, the pool was great to cool off on the hot afternoon. At night we watched the fishermen in the lake fishing at night using their lights, it looked like the stars had fallen into the lake ! Food was good and we enjoyed our stay at Kikonko.

Excellent food, beautiful setting on the lake

Reviewed By Nikhil_Advani

Had a really great stay here for 3 nights over NYE. The room was spacious and in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and the food was excellent! It's a very peaceful place, great star show at night, and has all the amenities you'd expect for a safari lodge. It's very close to Kibale NP where we went chimp tracking, and a bit further to Semuliki, which we did a day trip to.

The view and accommodations are Instagram worth. It’s very close to the park and gorillas and Pygmy. There are many birds flying about. The staff are friendly and will meet your every needs. Their food menu changes everyday and with a consistent flavor. I highly recommend this place. Take care
