Amazing! Truly, words cannot describe this lovely lodge. Beautifully constructed tree house with luxurious accommodations and amenities. The most amazing and welcoming staff.

December 31, 2023When 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… When entering the Kibale National Park, its filled with forest, primate and bird sounds.
