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 eight distinct handcrafted luxury bandas (six deluxe and two standard). Currently, four bandas are available, with an additional four 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, including 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 features 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 and regular and premium alcoholic beverages, including signature cocktails, single malt whiskeys, and select cellar wines (excluding French champagne). A complimentary laundry service is also available. Rooms are equipped with power outlets, charging facilities, hairdryers, and fans (though air conditioning is not provided). Wi-Fi is accessible in the main lodge and the bandas.
Activities at the lodge and nearby include chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, located just a 30-minute drive away, as well as 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.

An easy and transparent experience
Mel gave me options and sent pics which look amazing. She was able to rearrange my dates and handled things seamlessly. A very easy and painless experience, and she got me a great value on what looks to be an amazing safari.
