Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

Kyambura Gorge Lodge

A former coffee plantation at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains

Luxury on the edge of the Kyambura Gorge

In a converted old coffee processing plant sitting in a green hillside, Kyambura Gorge Lodge is an eclectic base for an adventurous safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

There are eight airy bandas (traditional huts) to choose from, each reflecting local building styles and featuring private balconies that offer sweeping views of the rolling savanna and the distant Rwenzori Mountains, or the kyambura gorge. The stylish bandas weave a contemporary theme throughout their rooms, adorned with local artefacts that comprise part of the attractive decoration.

The main lodge – which was once the processing plant – features a colourful living area and outdoor decking area. Here a large pool glimmers in the sun, ready for you to dip your toes in and admire the mountain vistas.

Kyambura Gorge Lodge also includes a personal butler service for every guest. During your stay you’ll enjoy local delicacies prepared with fresh ingredients, before indulging further with a rejuvenating massage within either of the two treatment rooms.

The lodge’s main highlight is certainly the experiences: embark on a trek from the lodge along the Fig Tree Trail to venture into the gorge to look for the ‘Lost Chimps of Kyambura’, spot some of the six hundred amazing bird species that call Queen Elizabeth National Park home, visit the Kyambura Eco-tourism project and plant a tree seedling in the wildlife buffer zone, along with much more.

Wilderness Magashi Camp

Akagera National Park

Wilderness Magashi Camp

In the north-eastern section of Akagera National Park you’ll find Wilderness Magashi Camp overlooking the stunning Lake Rwanyakazinga. The camp is surrounded by some of East Africa’s most beautiful savannah, lakes, swamps and rolling grasslands.

The camp, with design and interiors inspired by traditional Rwandan culture, boasts six spacious tents with lake views. When you’re not enjoying the solitude of your airy tent, relax in the luxurious lounge, enjoy a meal in the dining and bar area. The pool is the ideal place to cool off after a busy day of game viewing and birdwatching, and evenings are best spent on the deck around the fire pit.

The region is also home to one of the continent’s largest hippo populations, as well as crocodiles. You’ll also find the rare sitatunga and other plains game here as well as over 520 different species of bird. After a 20-year absence, lions were reintroduced to the area in 2015, and the population today is thriving. Black rhino were reintroduced in 2017.
