★★★★ 9.8 (43 reviews)

"Much has been said about the breathtaking views of the lake and the mountains from the lodge. And it is the staff and crew at Chameleon Hill Lodge made our trip to Uganda memorable and remarkable. The staff and crew of the lodge deliver top-notch authentic experience not just service. I felt genuinely cared for during our 4 day stay in July 2025. Amon, our driver, went out of his way to heed our requests. Agnes took really good care of me, remembering my dietary restrictions every meal. And the entire staff were all amazing."

"I had an absolutely delightful stay at Kisoro Comfort Inn and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Kigezi. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. One of the highlights was the food, the on-site restaurant serves delicious local cuisine freshly prepared and full of natural flavor. The breakfast was generous and satisfying, a great way to start the day. I'll definitely be back!"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

📍 VPH7+5RG, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gate, Bufumbira
★★★★ 9.6 (40 reviews)

"The lodge is right by one of the gates to Bwindi which was very handy. The rooms are treehouse style so all our free time was spent birdwatching in the treetops from the balcony- managed to rack up around 30 species just from the balcony! The staff were all incredible at this hotel and went above and beyond. The provided a packed lunch for our gorilla Trek as well as a packed breakfast for our early start the next day. They also managed to turn around our laundry very quickly. The only downside was the shower pressure, but you are literally in the middle of the mountain rainforests in Uganda so you can't really complain 🤷‍♂️"

Gorilla Safari Lodge

Gorilla Safari Lodge

📍 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Bufumbira
★★★★ 9.2 (32 reviews)

"The hotel is nestled in the hills of the windy forest and a few meters from the entrance of the national park. Do the hotel workers have impeccable behavior to review the professionalism of the waiter, ézar and the employee valence. The only thing that did not rise to the occasion was the behavior of the person representing the hotel manager named Isabella. From the first moment he expressed a conceit and arrogance that we had never seen in anyone local since we have been in this wonderful country called Uganda for fifteen days."

Santaviva Hotel

Santaviva Hotel

📍 Mutanda Rd, Bufumbira
★★★★ 7.0 (3 reviews)

"Ivan is such a wonderful host!! We were part of an overland tour that had us in accomodation nearby which we weren’t happy with. Several of us walked to Ivan’s place and he sorted some rooms for us! There is a great and spacious area for hanging out which we really liked. Food was delicious!! Several others from the group came for a drink at Ivan’s one night and he was kind enough to escort them back to their accomodation to ensure they got back safely. Ivan was also happy to let us tag along on his visit to the markets when he went shopping! We would definitely stay with him again when we can return to Uganda!"

Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge

Gorilla Hills Eco Lodge

📍 Edges of Southern Sector of Bwindi N.P, Rushaga gate, Bufumbira
★★ 10 (6 reviews)

"I loved my stay here! The staff are incredible! Do they sleep?? The food is fresh and delicious. There was 97 steps to my tent from reception- but the exercise allowed me to indulge in dessert. The tent was beautiful and clean. Huge bathroom with jungle views. I loved spending time on my porch watching the monkeys. The hotel will organize a local at a moments notice to do a community walk to a nearby Batwa-Pygmy community for $20. Highly recommended it if you are physically fit. It was a bit cool at night - I loved the cozy hot water bottles they put in the beds at turn down. Highly recommend this gem. Bring money for tips - the staff work so hard."

Rushaga Gorilla Lodge ★★★
"We had an amazing three nights at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, with specacular views of the Bwindi Impentrable Forest National Park. The lodge is charming and very well maintained, with extremely clean and comfortable rooms. The food is delicious and plentiful, and they had great vegetarian options for every meal. The very best part of the lodge is the team working here, who took incredible care of us. From enuring our room was spotless and creating lovely towel and flower art on our bed every day, to making sure we had all the food and drinks we could need, to helping with our muddy post-forest hiking shoes and clothes, they made sure that we were comfortable and happy at all times. They even provided cozy hot water bottles on our way to bed, to help keep us toasty warm on cooler nights! We spent a fair bit of time in the main lodge using wifi and enjoying the beautiful setting, and Braire and the team made sure every moment was amazing, including supplying many cups of delicious Uganda tea. We're so grateful for the incredible experience that we had and would highly recommendt the Rushaga Gorilla Lodge to anyone looking to stay in the area!"

Chameleon Hill Forest Lodge ★★★★
"We had a very pleaseant stay at the very quite lodge. The rooms were super clean and the interieur was very beautiful. The view from the lodge over Lake Matunda and the Virunga mountains is spectacular. Sitting on the balcony, listening to the beautiful birds and having a drink is just a dream. The staff was very very friendly and to the 60th birthday of my wife we were surprised by a cake and a best performance with singing and dancing. That was the best experience ever !! So, all in all, we had a great time."

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses ★★★
"The amenities are great. Staff kind and jovial. Felt like a home away from home. Rooms are spacious, the food was very well done and tasty...I wanted more. Even though it was rainy and very cold during my visit, the provisions in the suite were enough to keep me warm. The place is also secure. I loved everything about it."

"We stayed 1 night at Orugano Bwindi lodge for our gorilla trek- Bob the host is one of the most friendly and genuine people I have ever met. The food was delicious, the beds comfortable and the water was hot! For a lodge that has only just been open a year, they have the service down pat- incredible experience, would stay again!"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★
"We spent two nights at Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge and it was the perfect starting point for our Gorilla tracking. Super friendly staff, delicious food and lovely rooms. As we spent our honeymoon in Uganda, they prepared the room for us with lovely decorations and fruits plus we got two glasses of wine on the house. Absolutely recommend staying here if you plan to do the Gorilla tracking and if you do, make sure to do the village walk as well and learn more about the Batwa community!"

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★
"I had an unforgettable stay at Gorilla Lodge during my recent trip to Bwindi for a gorilla trekking adventure. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The location is unbeatable — nestled in the forest with stunning views of the hills and misty jungle. Waking up to birdsong and the cool mountain air was magical. The rooms are cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a rustic yet comfortable feel. After a long trek, it was amazing to return to a hot shower, delicious local meals, and a relaxing fireplace in the evening. The team even helped organize our trekking permits and gave us helpful tips to prepare."

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★
"Santaviva is a lovely little hotel in the heart of Kisoro. Ivan, the manager, is always available to deal with whatever request you have, and he even runs his own ecotourism business from it. If you're coming to Uganda to visit Bwindi or Mgahinga national parks and the mountain gorillas, this is a great place to stay."
