NDALI LODGE, KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK

traditional colonial lodge

Beautifully situated on the rim of an extinct volcano with dramatic views of the Rwenzori Mountains, Ndali Lodge is perfectly poised for excursions within the primate playground of Kibale Forest.

Set atop a hill overlooking rolling green hills, this traditional colonial lodge is made up of just eight stone and thatch cottages framed by verdant gardens. All rooms are generously sized, with interiors crafted from local materials and private verandas overlooking the rugged Rwenzori. The main lodge is inviting and airy, with large windows and a communal dining table where delicious local dishes are served each day. Guests can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool or in the beautiful crater lake below, relax in the sauna and make use of the dedicated yoga pagoda.

The property lies just 45 minutes away from Kibale Forest National Park, with expert guides on hand to lead you exciting excursions in search of the area’s wild chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, elephants and colorful butterflies. You’ll also be able to go birdwatching in the excellent Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, visit the nearby Mahoma waterfall and join local guides on walks around the 1,000-acre farm and vanilla plantation.
