Chameleon Hill Forest Lodge

Chameleon Hill Forest Lodge

📍 Lake Mutanda/ Kisoro, Bwindi Impenetrable National, Bufumbira
★★★★ 10 (43 reviews)

"We stayed here for 3 nights with our two (30 year old nephews) and friends on our 2 week tour of primate tracking. The property sits on a mountain at 6000 feet, overlooking Lake Mutanda. One day we did some mountain biking from the lodge. It is quite challenging. One Day 2, our guides drove us two hours to do the Golden Monkey Tracking. Another incredible experience. Our final day, some of us had Spensa take us out on the boat. We did some birding and exploring. Our nephews took out the kayaks. The food is delicious. Phiona was always there willing to assist in anyway. They do a phenomenal job cleaning your boots and gaiters. Charles is always checking in to see if you need anything. We had one of the best rooms (14). Our friends were in the attached room (13). We could hear them at times through the door BUT as far as the sunrises - these are the best rooms. BUT BEWARE, these rooms are a long, uphill to the lodge itself. Our friends had Rooms 9 & 10 but the sunrises weren’t as good. Rooms were spotless and the shower was the best for our entire 2 weeks in Uganda."

Kisoro comfort Inn

Kisoro comfort Inn

📍 Kabale - Kisoro Rd, Chahi, Kisoro district, Bufumbira
9.3 (3 reviews)

"I had an absolutely delightful stay at Kisoro Comfort Inn and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Kigezi. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. One of the highlights was the food, the on-site restaurant serves delicious local cuisine freshly prepared and full of natural flavor. The breakfast was generous and satisfying, a great way to start the day. I'll definitely be back!"

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses

📍 Hospital, Bufumbira
★★★ 10 (14 reviews)

"I am a frequent visitor to Kisoro and just completed another two week stay at the Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses. In all, I have lodged here for > 6 months total over the last 10 years, and this has become my 'go-to' lodging for all my visits to Kisoro. The site is pleasant and quiet, outside of the hustle and bustle of Kisoro Town and located adjacent to the St Francis Hospital and the School of Nursing in Mutolere. The grounds are quiet, pleasant and abundantly planted with flowering bushes and trees. The breakfasts on the bed-and-breakfast program are simply wonderful and provide a wide variety of options suitable to any palate. The relatively recent addition of the "stone house" building serves as meeting place, breakfast area, and community site, complete with fireplace and kitchen supplied with sodas and drinks. The area is very safe and I have never had any concerns for security or safety throughout my numerous stays. At night one can see millions of stars on a cloudless night, yet it is also well lit for safety and comfort. Amenities are basic but clean, with individual kitchen areas bathrooms, sitting areas, and bathrooms. Laundry services are available at an excellent price. WiFi is available. The staff is wonderful and friendly.... special shout out to Alfred, the property manager, who has always been very proactive with visitors and attentive to any needs that may come up. The property is also linked to the Coffee Pot Cafe in Kisoro Town which provides a consistent and reliable menu of food options. The local staff at the Guest Houses and Coffee Pot Cafe can help travelers sort through the myriad of touristic options available in Kisoro District and link them to resources to arrange excursions if desired... mountain climbing on the nearby Virunga Range, relaxing lake experiences at Lake Mutanda or Bunyoni, Gorilla tracking, Golden Monkey tracking, Hiking, coffee plantations, and more. Overall the Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses has been a consistently excellent location for my lodging needs in Kisoro."

Bwindi Orugano Lodge

📍 E Nyabwishenya, Bufumbira
★★★ 10 (7 reviews)

"We can wholeheartedly recommend the Lodge. Bob and his team are wonderful. All staff made us feel at home. The service was topnotch, the food was very tasty. The view from the rooms are breathtaking. If ever I will come back, I will stay there. Thank you again for all the help Bob."

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

📍 VPH7+5RG, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gate, Bufumbira
★★★★ 9.6 (40 reviews)

"The lodge is right by one of the gates to Bwindi which was very handy. The rooms are treehouse style so all our free time was spent birdwatching in the treetops from the balcony- managed to rack up around 30 species just from the balcony! The staff were all incredible at this hotel and went above and beyond. The provided a packed lunch for our gorilla Trek as well as a packed breakfast for our early start the next day. They also managed to turn around our laundry very quickly. The only downside was the shower pressure, but you are literally in the middle of the mountain rainforests in Uganda so you can't really complain 🤷‍♂️"

Gorilla Safari Lodge

Gorilla Safari Lodge

📍 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Bufumbira
★★★★ 9.2 (29 reviews)

"The hotel is nestled in the hills of the windy forest and a few meters from the entrance of the national park. Do the hotel workers have impeccable behavior to review the professionalism of the waiter, ézar and the employee valence. The only thing that did not rise to the occasion was the behavior of the person representing the hotel manager named Isabella. From the first moment he expressed a conceit and arrogance that we had never seen in anyone local since we have been in this wonderful country called Uganda for fifteen days."

Santaviva Hotel

Santaviva Hotel

📍 Mutanda Rd, Bufumbira
★★★★ 6.9 (3 reviews)

"Honestly the best place to stay in the whole of Kisoro! Ivan makes sure you will get the most out of your experience by taking you to some hidden gems, and will help with everything you need. Besides, the hotel is spacious with both inside and outside areas to sit, warm and comfy, and it has a nice restaurant too."

You will not be disappointed!"

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses ★★★
"I went with the University of Connecticut Global Medicine Team. The setting is beautiful with birds awakening us every morning. The breakfasts were superb with fruit, eggs. French toast,native honey, warm rolls coffee and tea. The support from staff was excellent with help in cleaning rooms and laundry. The rooms were spacious and comfortably furnished (mosquito netting for all beds). The Stone House has a library, fireplace, comfortable seating; it is a pleasant gathering place. The gardens are spectacular. For the group of physicians working in the adjacent hospital and nursing school this guest house could not have been better."

Bwindi Orugano Lodge ★★★
"We had a fabulous 2 night stay. The staff were so attentive and friendly and made many personal touches such as cleaning our muddy boots after gorilla trek, putting hot water bottles in our bed in the evening and lighting the fire pit to all enjoy 1 evening. The room was large and comfortable, the bathroom enormous with 2 sinks, the bed very comfortable and the view was outstanding. The food was delicious with 3 course dinner ( vegetarian option), cooked breakfast and packed lunch for our trek. The chef confirmed our choices with us individually. The venue had free WiFi and was extremely close to the mountain gorilla trek briefing centre and trek starting point. We could not have been happier during our stay."

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★
"My husband and I stayed at Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge during our trip to Bwindi and I must say-our stay at the lodge was truly incredible. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable, with a touch of authentic charm. The staff at the lodge were exceptionally warm, attentive and always ready to help with a smile. The food was delicious, with great options for both vegans and vegetarians. Ichumbi Lodge provided the perfect blend of comfort and wilderness; and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bwindi national park."

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★
"At night, it gets really cold, but every night the staff were thoughtful to bring hot water bottles and a light a fire during turn down. You enjoy clear views of Bwindi Impenentrable Park, only about 5 minutes drive away. I would recommend this property if you are looking to stay close by."

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★
"Ivan is such a wonderful host!! We were part of an overland tour that had us in accomodation nearby which we weren’t happy with. Several of us walked to Ivan’s place and he sorted some rooms for us! There is a great and spacious area for hanging out which we really liked. Food was delicious!! Several others from the group came for a drink at Ivan’s one night and he was kind enough to escort them back to their accomodation to ensure they got back safely. Ivan was also happy to let us tag along on his visit to the markets when he went shopping! We would definitely stay with him again when we can return to Uganda!"

Traveling with friends
Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge ★★
"When you walk to your lodge it feels like you are in tree house. At least that’s how I felt where my lodge was. Middle of Bwindi forest. Lush view from balcony, you can see the forest and if you’re lucky you see elephants, rooms are nice and beds have mosquito net, bottle of water in the room, towels in bathrooms, hot water takes time to heat up, you have to turn it on and wait for couple of minutes to heat the water. Breakfast is order night before, they have a menu with selective options and you can order one, two or three options, pancakes and eggs are delicious. There is always tea on table in lobby to drink. Also there is a bar in the lobby where you can order any drink you want. Staff put hot bottle water in your bed at nights to keep it warm, it’s very nice. However sadly when water gets cold middle of night it gets cold. I wish they put extra blankets in rooms for people that need cause blankets on bed are thin for cold weather. Trash bin in bathroom would be necessary. No trash bin in bathroom, only one in bedroom. Staff are super friendly and kind, in the evening if you need a hand to walk at dark night to your room they walk with you with flashlights. Enjoyed our stay very much!"
