Boma Guesthouse is an ideal accommodation for your first (or last) overnight stay in Uganda, as it is located only 6km from Entebbe Airport. The small hotel was formerly a colonial home and is surrounded by a well-kept tropical garden. Rooms are located in the main house and in cottages in the garden. All rooms have their own en-suite bathrooms.
There is a lounge, bar and two different terraces where meals are served. A large swimming pool with sun loungers under shady trees invites you to relax.
Located adjacent to Lake Mburo National Park, Mihingo Lodge is perched high on a rocky kopje and has spectacular views over the vast savannah landscape. Designed to blend in with its fragile surroundings, the twelve thatched-roofed tents are raised on platforms and come with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, showers and flush loos. Each rooms has its unique charm and character, whether it is nestled in forest, overlooking the lake, perched on a rocky outcrop or located down by the water hole. An infinity pool overlooks the valley below where buffalo, eland, impala, warthogs, bush buck and zebra can be seen at the waterhole.
Mihingo Lodge is located close to Lake Mburo National Park. The drive to the park entrance takes about 30 minutes. The drive to Bwindi Forest takes about 6 hours, to Entebbe about 4 hours, Queen Elizabeth NP about 3,5 hour and Kibale Forest 5 hours.
Stone stairs leads down from the parking lot to the main building of Chameleon Lodge, which is painted in bright colors. A cozy restaurant and terrace await you, with a spectacular panorama of Lake Mutanda with its small islands and hills in the distance.
Steps continue down to the ten colorful chalets. All rooms are lined up along the hillside and offer wonderful vistas of the lake. The stone chalets are equipped with en-suite bathrooms and a small covered veranda. The lodge is at around 2,000 meters above sea level and the steep steps up to the main house require some fitness, especially if this is your first stop in Uganda and you still need to get used to the altitude.
Travel time from Entebbe to Chameleon Hill Lodge would be a good 10 hours, too far for a single day's drive. Flights from Entebbe take 1 hour 15 minutes to Kisoro Airstrip. The road transfer from the airstrip to the lodge is just over an hour.
Buhoma Lodge offers eight comfortable wooden chalets with en-suite bathrooms, some of which also provide bathtubs. A few rooms are elevated on the hillside and guests have to climb steep stairs to reach them. On the private balconies, guests can enjoy a cup of coffee and the beautiful view of the foliage of Bwindi Forest. Guests who are not good with climbing stairs need to book a room that is lower down.
The main building has two floors; restaurant, lounge and bar are located on the upper floor.
Travel time to Buhoma Lodge from Entebbe is around nine hours. Flights from Entebbe to Kihihi Airstrip take about one hour and from there it is only a one-hour drive to the lodge.
Ishasha Wilderness Camp is a classic safari camp with ten guest tents that all feature en-suite bathroom, shower and running water. The camp was built in a romantic location on the banks of Ntungwe River under shady trees. Guests who do not expect too much luxury and enjoy a typical safari camp in the middle of the wilderness will love this camp.
The open main building comes with a large dining and lounge area. Down by the river is a fire pit where guests can sit around the open fire in the evening and enjoy a drink.
Bwindi Forest can be reached in about two hours. The northern section of the Queen Elizabeth National Park (Mweya Peninsula, Mweya Lodge) in about 3 hrs, depending on the road conditions. Kihihi Airstrip is about 45 minutes from the camp.
Primate Lodge is one of the few accommodations located within Kibale Forest. The nine luxury cottages (3 x Twin and 6 x Double with King-Size bed) are well spread in the forest around the main building and offer a lot of privacy. The cottages are constructed from local materials, have en-suite bathrooms with showers and private verandas. Last, but not least, the Honeymoon Cottage is a two-story house with a lounge on the lower floor and bedroom with super large king-size bed plus outside terrace on the upper floor.
The main building itself includes a lounge, bar, dining area and a garden where you can relax and listen to the sounds of the forest.
Primate Lodge is centrally located close to the main entrance to the park respectively the ranger post, which is also the starting point for the treks.
You will visit one of these chimpanzee groups today. The trek starts at Kanyanchu Visitor Centre and usually takes two to four hours of easy trekking with your rangers. The actual time with the chimpanzees is limited to one hour.
