Fantastic 🤩 We enjoyed our stay here wonderfully. Of course, the proximity to the chimpanzee trekking, but the lodge itself is also incredibly beautiful. There is a great restaurant concept here, where the food (from 5 dishes) and the time are agreed upon via flipchart. This way, everything is fresh and super delicious. Very sustainable.
Kirsten B.Excellent lodge with gourmet gastronomy. Excellent lodge, consisting of huge masonry rooms with thatched roofs, and equally large bathrooms. Furnishings and decorations contribute to creating a pleasant atmosphere. A note of merit for the particularly good and well-presented food.

Great Nice lodge with amazing rooms and super friendly staff!
Monique DPerfect stay We had a great time at Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge. The location was extraordinary and the accomodation itself was also beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was taken care off, and the rooms were stocked with everything you may need, (including bathrobes). The food was also terrific (the best we have had in Uganda) and we could choose every dinner between 3/5 options each course. The lobby/restaurant was also tastefully styled. All in all, we had a great time here and can recommend it to anyone!
Daan dWe loved it!! What a room - what a garden! - So close to nature- we will come back!
Inge LWonderful One of the most beautiful lodges I have ever stayed in. Wonderful place, impeccable staff. Everything is superlative.
Simona ADream like property right by the chimps! The Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge was a tree house dream! The property is built into the jungle, an amazing wooden structure with high ceilings made from dried palms and open, with views of the jungle. Three different kinds of monkies (and babies!) could be seen from our room and from the dinning area! Lots of exotic birds too! Our room was spacious and comfortable and felt large with the high ceilings, very cool too during the warm days! We had a big porch with lounge chairs to watch the moon rise in the evening and the monkeys and birds play in the day. The service was top notch. Nightly turn down service, laundry, they even washed our hiking boots for us before we packed them for home! Ice seems hard to come by, but they brought some on request for a bruised foot. I must shout of Owen, or main server for our meals. So friendly and kind, he served our three course meals, coffee and juice and was very professional and accommodating. Each night, he took our breakfast order for the next day, asked us what time we wanted it, and it was always ready on time. Our driver Alex was amazing and always prompt! It’s a two hour drive from the airstrip to the hotel (on a paved road) and he picked us up right on time, and in the morning before our trek he was there waiting for us in the morning! It’s only a five minute drive to the base camp for the chimp trek! And he communicated with our guide to pick us up in a new location when the trek was over. He was so kind! The nature walk with Bernard was also great! It’s right next to the property, saw five kinds of monkeys, many birds, the waterway, and local farmers. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out many plants and trees as well! Took around two hours, highly recommend. Overall it was a dream, so quiet and relaxing, loved the open air layout and the large rooms. Extremely safe with armed guards at night, although the town is perfectly safe. Perfect service, perfect location. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Nick JAmazing location, beautiful lodges Wow! This place is incredible! My husband and I stayed here for our chimp trekking experience and the lodge was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t believe how spacious the lodges were! We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching the birds and monkeys in the trees. The staff was so kind, welcoming and helpful. Owen was our server and he was very generous and listened to every request. Alex was our driver to and from the airstrip and he was so friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend the Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge!

Kent SiriaWe had a wonderful stay at Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm welcome, and the manager was exceptionally helpful, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay. We unfortunately had an issue with our vehicle, but the team handled it perfectly and without any additional charge. This really demonstrated how committed they are to their guests and to making sure everything goes smoothly. The entire staff was absolutely fantastic. Our room was huge and very comfortable, with excellent bedding that made for a very restful night. We were also impressed by the level of service and the attention to detail. For example, while we were having dinner, our bed was prepared for the night — a lovely touch that made us feel genuinely cared for. Considering the quality of the service, the comfort of the room, the friendliness of the staff, and the attention to detail, the value for money is truly excellent. A big thank you to the entire team for making our stay so pleasant. We would happily recommend Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge to anyone visiting the area!
Jimmy ArdouinMy kids and I stayed at Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge and we did a nature walk.

Such a lovely place. One of the biggest rooms we had on trip. Lovely staff and very attentive at meals. Not sure on area as we didn't go out. A pool would be a bonus also!
Rebecca W.A lovely stay at Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge. The staff were very attentive and welcoming, and the rooms are huge, clean and comfortable, surrounded by nature and absolute tranquillity. The food was very good, although the lunch and dinner options were somewhat limited. A peaceful and beautiful place to stay, especially for exploring Kibale Forest.
IngridGreat service and fantastic nature. The hotel decorated beautifully our room for our honeymoon and we could hear the monkeys from our room at night. Rooms are super comfortable but it gives you the feeling that you are sleeping with the nature. The rooms have nets around the bed.
Maria VillamilWe traveled with Wildmist Adventures and stayed one night at Kibale Tourist Lodge. The lodge is amazing. The room was very clean and spacious. The location is very close to chimpanzee trekking starting point, which is a big plus. Food quality is also above average compare to other lodges we have been to. Overall highly recommended.

Nick JohnsonWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kibale Tourist Safari Lodge and couldn't recommend it more! The lodges are beautiful, incredibly spacious, and perfectly immersed in nature. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on our huge private deck, where we could watch birds and monkeys right from our room. It was such a peaceful and unforgettable experience. The staff truly made our stay exceptional. Every single person was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. A special thank you to Owen, our waiter, who was always so kind, attentive, and a pleasure to chat with. We also want to recognize Alex, our driver, who was consistently prompt, friendly, and so easy to talk to. He made every transfer stress-free and enjoyable. If you're planning to go chimp trekking in Kibale, this is the perfect place to stay. The beautiful setting, comfortable accommodations, and outstanding hospitality made it one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely stay here again!
