Where dramatic landscapes meet wild chimpanzee encounters
Perched on the edge of the stunning Kyambura Gorge in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kyambura Gorge Lodge is a bold and stylish lodge with views as dramatic as its design. Once a humble coffee store, the property has been beautifully transformed into a contemporary eco-lodge with an undeniable sense of place. Guests are immersed in the savannah’s golden light while enjoying panoramic views over the gorge and the distant Rwenzori Mountains.
The lodge is renowned not only for its aesthetics but also for its proximity to one of Uganda’s most unique primate experiences: chimpanzee tracking in the lush, forested gorge below. Days here begin with thrilling treks into the rainforest and often end with sundowners on the deck, watching elephants in the distant plains or soaking in the salt-lick views. The lodge is also deeply rooted in conservation and community, supporting local initiatives and habitat restoration.
Each of the lodge’s eight bandas is individually designed, blending Afro-chic interiors with handmade Ugandan crafts. Guests can unwind at the spa, take a dip in the pool with sweeping views, or enjoy farm-to-table cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients. Kyambura Gorge Lodge is an ideal choice for travelers seeking to pair modern luxury with conservation-focused exploration.
