Beautiful location. Wonderful staff. A little bit of paradise to recover from safari

Alison United Kingdom

The location was stunning. Its in a beautiful spot and cleverly laid out on the hillside with traditional African style. The staff and the owner were all extremely welcoming and kind. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.

Myra United Kingdom

Somewhere in the middle of banana plants there is a gate. When the gate opens you find a beautiful garden! This was such a nice surprise! The premises were tastefully decorated breathing a pleasant atmosphere. The staf was very kind and accomodating. Even after we had left our room they gave us the opportunity to have a lovely day with Ugandan friends in the garden!

Ingeborg Netherlands

Incredibly beautiful lodge. The surrounding are espectacular, the food is very tasty and the rooms are clean and pretty.

Carlota Spain

A great spot to relax from busy Kampala City Center. I was here with my wife and one of my daughters (the other one missed the trip because of schooling - please don't tell her lol). We loved the beautiful paradise like scenery, the friendly staff and these incredibly comfortable beds and the cleanliness. Food and service were excellent !!! Though we used this spot as a stop over on the way from Entebbe to Lake Bunyoni, we will consider to stay there next time for more than just a day. This location seems to be very interesting for hiking as it is not as crowded as Lake Bunyoni has become duirng recent years.
