Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort

Wow, this place is in a Gorgeous location and has beautiful, amazing views! Great service! Beautiful, clean accommodations! Right on the beautiful Lake Bunyoni. An abundance of birds and otters. There are also activities you can book here which is really convenient.

The tourism industry in Uganda is starting to really grow, and Lake Bunyonyi has tourists realizing that there is so much more to Uganda than gorillas! The lake is breathtakingly beautiful, and the views here shift throughout the day. The staff is attentive, the food is delicious, the environment is peaceful, and there is even wifi and cell coverage! This is a safe, comfortable, friendly, affordable getaway.

Beautiful setting, attentive staff who adapted activities to suit and had excellent local knowledge. Enjoyed running, dug out canoe, visiting islands and hearing about community projects. Sunset dinner boat trip rounded off the day. Plenty of wildlife and perfect swimming. Thank you

We had a great experience at this resort, and there were several standout aspects. First, the staff went above and beyond to help us organize our entire trip through Uganda. Robert, the owner, personally drove us to various destinations or arranged transportation for us, covering multiple days and over 1,000 km. This level of service was truly exceptional. The resort itself is peaceful and beautifully located, with stunning views of the lake—definitely its main selling point. The quiet atmosphere, abundant birdlife, and serene surroundings make it perfect for unwinding. The food was excellent, and the staff, including Bruce, Ken, Mohammed, Ruthie, and others, were incredibly kind, accommodating, and friendly. The rooms were clean, and the amenities were good overall. That said, there are a few things to be aware of. The internet doesn’t work well in the rooms but is reliable in the reception and common areas. Electricity occasionally goes out, but the resort has a generator that kicks in after some time—this is more of a general issue in Uganda than a fault of the hotel. The last 1-2 km of the road to the resort is rough, so a 4WD is needed after rain - I would not recommend arriving at night. Alternatively, and in our case, the hotel can organize a boat transfer, which was easy and convenient for us. Overall, it's a great place to relax and unwind—a charming retreat that offers a balance of attentive service and natural beauty.

We stayed for one night at Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Kabale area. The resort is accessed by a beautiful boat ride, and affords incredible views to the lake. The rooms are in the form of cottages, that are very spacious and comfortable, with excellent showers with hot water. The food was also quite good. I highly recommend it as a quiet retreat and for visiting the area, with lots of available activities around.
