Overview of Kyambura Gorge Lodge

Uganda, Queen Elizabeth National Park

A former coffee plantation and estate at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains, Kyambura Lodge has sensitively restored and eclectically decorated the old coffee-processing and drying shed to create a luxurious, eco-sensitive lodge on the edge of Kyambura Gorge and the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Forested Kyambura Gorge is the playground for endangered chimpanzees and you can spend a day tracking them while admiring their beautiful forest surroundings and enjoying some excellent bird watching.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s flagship big game park and is home to wildlife such as buffalo, elephant, lion, hippo, leopard and many antelope species plus no fewer than 10 primate species. Go on guided game drives through the park or take a boat cruise along the famous Kazinga Channel where you may spot hippo, Nile crocodile and scores of bird species at the water's edge.

A unique lodge, where the communal office was once an old coffee store and the decor offers a twist on local art. The views from the pool are amazing and Kyambura Gorge, where you can trek chimps is on your doorstep.

    Loved it! Beautiful, spacious and character-filled rooms. One of the few places they would bring you coffee/ tea in the morning with your wake-up call – so nice to enjoy your morning coffee on your verandah with sweeping views of the surroundings. The staff were warm, professional and personal and the food was excellent – highly recommend it. If possible, a three-night stay would be ideal to take advantage of all the activities the lodge has to offer as well as game viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park. All guests can plant a tree, which was very special.

    Kyambura Gorge Lodge definitely is the ‘pearl' of the Queen Elizabeth Region. Their Deluxe Cottages are super, and for a client who wants something more than just game drives, a three nights' stay here is mind-blowing, as you can do plenty of walks and visit community projects (coffee, beekeeping). Kyambura Gorge Lodge definitely is ‘wow’.

    Next onto Queen Elizabeth National Park, and after some game driving, onto Kyambura Gorge Lodge. All the roads, of course, are dreadful, and shook us up all the way. The Gorge Lodge was wonderful, and if I had any regrets it would be that we did not stay here another day. There was a gorge walk I would love to have done, and they were so gracious at the lodge and the accommodation and food was superb. Sad to leave
