Lakeside serenity at the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains
Perched above a stunning crater lake and framed by the dramatic peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, Kyaninga Lodge is a striking architectural gem built entirely from hand-carved logs. This peaceful retreat blends the beauty of its surroundings with the craftsmanship of Ugandan artisans, offering an inviting home base for travelers seeking both luxury and adventure in Western Uganda.
Each of the spacious cottages is set on stilts with sweeping views of the lake or the mountains, featuring hardwood floors, claw-foot bathtubs, and private verandas. The main lodge includes a cozy lounge, a refined restaurant serving gourmet meals with local ingredients, and a swimming pool that appears to spill into the crater lake itself.
Kyaninga is ideally located for those interested in primate trekking in Kibale National Park, home to one of the largest populations of chimpanzees in Africa. Guests can also enjoy nature walks, birding, crater lake explorations, and cultural visits to nearby villages, making it a well-rounded and tranquil safari stop in Uganda’s lesser-known regions.
