"Great lodge, with stunning views, set precipitously over the forest. The room and amenities were comfortable, the manager / host / cook charming and gregarious, and the food hearty and wholesome. I wanted to try Ugandan Kombucha, he sent someone out to get some for me - awesome service. As an added bonus it's 5 minutes away from the nearest gathering point for gorilla trekking. Ticked all the boxes."

Mutolere Coffee Pot Guest Houses ★★★

📍 Hospital, Bufumbira

"I went with the University of Connecticut Global Medicine Team. The setting is beautiful with birds awakening us every morning. The breakfasts were superb with fruit, eggs. French toast,native honey, warm rolls coffee and tea. The support from staff was excellent with help in cleaning rooms and laundry. The rooms were spacious and comfortably furnished (mosquito netting for all beds). The Stone House has a library, fireplace, comfortable seating; it is a pleasant gathering place. The gardens are spectacular. For the group of physicians working in the adjacent hospital and nursing school this guest house could not have been better."

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★

📍 VPH7+5RG, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Rushaga Gate, Bufumbira

"Super comfortable lodge! Perfect for gorilla trekking. Delicious food & super personable staff! Rooms are gorgeous— can’t rave enough about the balconies! WiFi is pretty spotty but this is to be expected up in the mountains. Would stay here again for sure! Massages in the room are available too."

Santaviva Hotel
6.6 (3 reviews)

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★

📍 Mutanda Rd, Bufumbira

"Santaviva is a lovely little hotel in the heart of Kisoro. Ivan, the manager, is always available to deal with whatever request you have, and he even runs his own ecotourism business from it. If you're coming to Uganda to visit Bwindi or Mgahinga national parks and the mountain gorillas, this is a great place to stay."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge

📍 UWA Rushaga Road, Bufumbira

"Honestly, staying at the Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Waking up to the breathtaking views of the mountains and forest every morning felt surreal, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. What made the stay particularly special was the incredible team Everyone was so kind, genuine, attentive and welcoming, and they always made sure we felt at home. Their warmth and hospitality transformed the beautiful lodge into an unforgettable place to stay."

Kisoro comfort Inn
"I had an absolutely delightful stay at Kisoro Comfort Inn and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Kigezi. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They were friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. One of the highlights was the food, the on-site restaurant serves delicious local cuisine freshly prepared and full of natural flavor. The breakfast was generous and satisfying, a great way to start the day. I'll definitely be back!"

Gorilla Safari Lodge ★★★★
"The hotel is simply amazing! You will have the best view of the forest and in 5 minutes drive you arrive at the place where the Gorilla trekking starts. The accommodations are very spacious, clean and comfortable! The food is delicious and the cooker can make anything you like. Lastly, the hosts were fantastic. All of them were really kind and helpful, making us feel at home. They even made us a delicious welcoming cake and sing a traditional song welcoming us. I never before saw such attentive and caring hosts. I recommend this place 100%!"

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge ★★★★
"A lovely place to stay for gorilla tracking at Bwindi. The rooms were very comfortable, but the highlight was the staff, who were exceptional. It was my father's birthday, and to mark it they baked a cake. The kitchen staff all formed a conga line and sang and danced as they brought it in after dinner. We were very touched. That combined with the gorillas made it into an unforgettable day."

Santaviva Hotel ★★★★
"Honestly the best place to stay in the whole of Kisoro! Ivan makes sure you will get the most out of your experience by taking you to some hidden gems, and will help with everything you need. Besides, the hotel is spacious with both inside and outside areas to sit, warm and comfy, and it has a nice restaurant too."

Kaara Gorilla Mountain Lodge
"This lodge is out of the way up an extremely steep and rocky road (track). Once you are there the view is stunning but we were unable to enjoy it from our deck because we were located next to a building site (a new set of rooms at the lodge) so there were electric power tools in use all afternoon. The rooms are reached via steep and uneven steps (which when we left were slippery from rain and in total darkness). We were overcharged ridiculously for drinks and when we queried the bill, we were fobbed off. The best part of our stay was our housekeeper who was genuinely helpful and went out of his way to take care of us. Unless you are fit and a non-drinker (who likes scary roads that add unnecessary time to each trip), stay elsewhere."
