Chimpundu Lodge

It was wonderful to be welcomed as we checked in today. Everything was explained to us clearly by Beverley and all the other staff were marvelous, from taking us to our room, to making sure we have properly selected our meals in advance. Joseph at the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. He suggested we try the lemongrass tea which was grown in the hotel grounds. We wish we were staying longer., maybe next time. We highly recommend this lodge.

Our stay at Chimpundu Lodge was outstanding—one we’d happily repeat. The room was a calm, well-appointed retreat with everything a traveler needs. The king-sized bed was very comfortable and beautifully made. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with a private porch we loved and a bathroom that felt both spacious and inviting. We didn’t have time to enjoy the large soaking tub—though it was tempting—but the shower was excellent. It was roomy, kept the water contained, and the handle was responsive and precise when adjusting the temperature. The water pressure was perfect, making it the best shower we’ve had in Uganda so far—15 days in. The WiFi was very reliable, both in the common areas and in our room, which was a welcome surprise. The common areas were warm and welcoming, with comfortable furnishings, local art, and plenty of natural light. The porch, with its beautifully set outdoor tables, was a perfect place for lunch or dinner. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive. They handled my food allergy with care, and the alternatives they provided were both thoughtful and delicious. And after our muddy chimpanzee trek, they even washed our shoes and socks for us—a small but incredibly appreciated gesture of hospitality. The pool was a bonus—clean, cool, and refreshing after a long day. We stayed here during our chimpanzee trek, and it couldn’t have been more perfect—comfortable, convenient, and memorable. Overall, Chimpundu delivered a high level of comfort, service, and style that made our stay truly enjoyable.

A little paradise in the middle of the jungle. Everything is absolutely breathtaking. The staff is soo sweet, helpful and caring you feel right at home. The food was absolutely amazing the drinks too. We only stayed for one night. We wished we could have stayed more nights, its an amazing place to breath and relax.

An amazing experience at Chimpundu Lodge. The staff are very welcoming and professional, meals were great and the cottages are beautiful and spacious. You definitely get a chance to enjoy bird watching, the views of luscious greenery and ambiance from your balcony. Chimpundu is a piece of heaven in the heart of Fort Portal. Will definitely come visit again!

This hotel and its staff exceeded my expectations! Beautifully appointed, friendly and attentive staff, and a perfect location from which to go chimpanzee trekking. Our server Josph was exceptional. Tracey at the front desk took great care of us. The massages and steam room were a wonderful way to treat ourselves after a day of travel or trekking (I got them both days we were there). The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this luxurious accommodation it’s even better than it looks in the pictures!

We spent two wonderful days at Chimpmundu Lodge traveling south from Murchison Falls to Bwindi and stopped over to do chimpanzee trekking. The lodge is 3 minutes from the trekking point so incredibly convenient. The lodge is immaculate from the huge bedrooms with lovely bathrooms to the pool and steam room. Massages after the long trek were just a great way to relax. The staff are so helpful, accommodated every request from laundry, meal times, to scheduling massages and use of the facilities. Without asking they took our hiking boots and socks and cleaned them and they were spotless. The food was fresh, tasty and the menu nicely diversified and balanced. I would highly recommend a stay if I you are chimp trekking or just traveling from north to south Uganda. A warm and memorable experience…especially seeing the baboon walk happily into reception.
