There are 8 unique, luxury bandas at Kyambura Gorge Lodge, of which one is ideal for honeymooners or families looking for peace & privacy.
Each banda features an en-suite bathroom with a private balcony offering breathtaking views of the park.
The central lodge area includes an inviting saltwater swimming pool with expansive views, a restaurant as well as a tranquil massage room that offers one 30-minute complimentary massage per guest per stay.
Activities
Kyambura Gorge Lodge has a variety of activities on its menu. Some of these include guided chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge & Kalinzu Forest, game drives through the park & boat cruises along the famous Kazinga Channel where excellent sightings of hippo, crocodile & bird species are seen at the water’s edge.
Guided walks, bird watching or a community coffee tour can also be arranged. Here guests will see the transformation of coffee beans into delicious Ugandan coffee – all done by hand.
Another highlight is to join a scientific researcher on his daily game drive in the park to locate & record the behaviour of a lion pride he is studying.
