One of the best and extraordinary hotels I ever stayed in. The food was excellent and the love for small details and excellent service blew us away. We only stayed for one night which we highly regret but we will com back.

Absolutely the best place we stayed in Uganda! Chimpundu Lodge was by far the highlight of all our accommodation in Uganda – we only wish we had booked an extra night. The staff could not have done more for us; from the moment we arrived, reception helped prepare us for our chimpanzee trek with great advice and the warmest smiles. The bar staff kept the drinks flowing (with two complimentary beers and wines each day) and were just as friendly. Dinner was incredible – fresh, delicious, with plenty of choice – if anything we were overfed! The lodge itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds where we spotted colobus and red-tailed monkeys right from our balcony. Our room was gorgeous, with a wrap-around balcony and a huge clawfoot bath I happily took advantage of. The location couldn’t be better – less than a 5-minute drive from the chimpanzee trekking area in Kibale Forest. Truly the best place we stayed in Uganda and one we would return to in a heartbeat. Also a note it was a little cooler in the evening when we visited and there was hot water bottles in the bed at night which was so lovely! Not actually needed due to the lovely covers on the bed but such a nice touch

Stupendous staff, gorgeous property, elegant bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms. Abundance of butterflies, super spa time, delicious food by a proper chef. We simply can't say enough about how tremendously the staff worked to make our stay phenomenal.

Personnel très accueillant et sympathique. Ils ont été attentifs et réceptifs à toutes nos demandes particulières. Joseph nous a préparé le meilleur Dawa. L’hôtel est très joli et bien entretenu. Localisation idéale pour le trek aux chimpanzés.

The property is a delight! I had a wonderful time with great food, rooms, and staff. Jasymin, the manager, is outstanding. The lodge is a birdwatching paradise, often spotting up to 45 species. Plus, it's only a 10-minute drive from the Chimpanzee Information Center. Overall, it was an excellent experience—I’ll be back!

Superb customer service from the staff- we got spoiled. The room we had was more than what we could ask for and the best part was the massive bathroom with a tub!! We loved the balcony facing the jungle. We enjoyed our time just drinking our coffee and tea there. We got a couples massage and although it’s not what we are used to in the States, it was great! They cleaned our shoes after we did the swamp walk and went above and beyond in making sure that we are taken care of. It is actually here that we spent the morning of our 10th wedding anniversary and per my husband’s request they decorated our bed. We were just here for a night, wished it was longer though.

We were in several high end lodges in Uganda . This one , by far, had the best service, food and Shower. Some of us need to eat gluten free and they were super flexible and friendly on that aspect as well. Great experience and we highly recommend . We took a family room as we were with 3 kids.
