Description

Kyaninga Lodge

Kyaninga Lodge is set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Kyaninga and the Rwenzori Mountains beyond. The lodge is the spectacular result of an unwavering commitment to creating an experience of Africa’s beauty unlike anything else. Experience the beauty and romance of this unexplored region while staying in the height of luxury and elegance. Nine exclusive cottages made from hand carved logs, superb dining, and a wealth of adventures await.

Set apart and raised on platforms, nine cottages offer you privacy and tranquility. Each spacious cottage comes with a choice of twin or double beds made up with the softest bed linen and feather pillows. An indoor seating area leads out to a private deck where you can enjoy morning tea or coffee with views over the Rwenzori Mountains. The en-suite bathrooms boast claw footed freestanding baths and glass-walled showers. With modern solar power, you will always have hot water and electrical charging points.

Deep in the evergreen rain forest of Kibale, you will come face to face with man’s closest living relative. Kibale forest is the best place in the world to see Chimpanzees in the wild.

Situated close to Kibale Forest, Kyaninga Lodge is the perfect place for you to explore this ancient wilderness.

  • A guided walk around the rim of the ancient volcano
