My friend and I stayed at Chimpandu Lodge during our visit to Kibale National Park. The property is beautiful. Gad and his team were wonderful! The room was stunning (only… read more got video which I cannot upload to TA). Spacious, clean and we had a beautiful view of the forest. We were fortunate to have Doreen assist us for each of our meals and to make sure we were fully taken care of! She was kind, attentive and absolutely lovely! The food was great and Brian, the bartender, makes a solid drink! We were unaware that Uganda grows avocado and they were delicious! We expressed how much we loved them to Doreen and she was kind enough to send us to our next destination with two avocados! We were so grateful! Beautiful property and wonderful staff!

The lodges were situated in a picturesque location with breath taking views of the beautiful landscape.
The room was a delightful blend of charm and modern comfort. The bathroom and bed was my favorite part. The attention given to the rooms is everything and more given that they are ever cleaned, all necessary amenities are provided for without asking. I loved it
The services were exceptional, friendly, attentive and eager to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. By the time we left the staff knew us by our names and ensured we were always comfortable and ready to provide us with whatever we needed.
Chimpundu offers an excellent value for money with the facilities, stunning as picturesque surroundings, elegant room decor among others.
They do provide WiFi for those that need constant connectivity but the opportunity to unplug was actually a refreshing change.
Yes the pictures will be amazing, the views were great . A time was had l!!!!
Overall the combination of all these factors made my stay at chimpundu refreshing and memorable.
I loved every second of being there

When entering the Kibale National Park, its filled with forest, primate and bird sounds. The surrounding foliage almost lends itself to the phrase, Deepest, Darkest Africa. Coming up to the… read more beautifully carved Chimpundu Lodge gates, we were excited to see what was behind them. As we arrived the staff (Ugandan people smile a lot and its just wonderful) welcomed our group with open arms. We reached Chimpundu lodge at around 5 in the evening. The entrance was to prove the most modest part of our visit.
Behind the gates was a series of wooden Chalets and at the top of the staircase was the reception, bar and restaurant. Carved wooden staircases and walkways led to the beautifully appointed bedrooms. Each chalet had either one, two or three beds and on the four posters hung a mosquito net.
The wide verandah that wrapped itself around the chalet as it clung to the mountainside was a great place to sit and the views are spectacular. Of course we can wax lyrically about the claw bath, the walk in shower and so much more but we need to leave that for the full article.
Dinner was waiting when we arrived and a buffet style dinner left us satisfied and full, requiring the walk to the room. We also found a spa, pool and games room which would rival any international hotel. Its distance to the Primate Park which houses the Chimpanzees is approximately 2 km.
A worthwhile stay for any local or indentations visitor.
