Kibale Lodge is perched on a ridge, offering breathtaking vistas of the Rwenzori Mountains to the west and the Queen Elizabeth plains along with the Kazinga Channel to the south.
Children under 15 are not allowed to participate in chimpanzee tracking. While children are welcome at the lodge, there are no childcare facilities available.
The Lodge offers 8 distinct hand-crafted luxury bandas (6 deluxe and 2 standard). Currently, 4 bandas are available, with an additional 4 set to open by the end of 2024.
Each banda features a private terrace with views of either the Rwenzori Mountains or the scenic hills around Fort Portal. All bandas are equipped with en-suite bathrooms that include flushing toilets, double vanities, and both indoor and outdoor showers with hot and cold running water.
Guests enjoy personal butler service throughout their stay. The Kibale Forest Spa offers two double massage rooms, a sauna, and a swimming pool . All massages are complimentary, subject to booking and availability.
Full board accommodations are provided, along with all soft drinks, regular and premium alcoholic beverages such as signature cocktails, single malt whiskies, and select cellar wines (excluding French champagne). A complimentary laundry service is also available. Rooms come equipped with power outlets, charging facilities, hairdryers, and fans (though air conditioning is not provided). Wi-Fi is accessible in the main lodge and in the bandas.
Activities at the Lodge and nearby include chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, which is a 30-minute drive away, and a four-hour chimpanzee habituation experience. Guests can also enjoy birdwatching at Bigodi Wetland Swamp, visit local schools involved in the Roots and Shoots program in partnership with the Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust and the Jane Goodall Institute, tour the Rwenzori Sculpture Foundation, visit the Sadhguru School, or hike the Rwenzori Mountains.

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
