This eight-cottage lodge, housed in a converted coffee processing plant, has sweeping views of both the thickly wooded Kyambura Gorge and the wonderfully biodiverse Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The 764-square-mile park is home to almost 100 mammal species and more than 600 species of birds, thanks to its varied habitat, from papyrus swamps to crater lakes to open, rolling savannah. Kyambura Gorge is contemporary and luxe, built from locally sourced, environmentally friendly materials fitted and made my local craftsmen.
Plus, it’s an ideal home base for birding, tracking chimpanzees, and viewing lions, leopards, elephants, and more, as well as visiting the Rwenzori Sculpture Foundry & Gallery, a foundry and sculpture gallery featuring the work of European and Ugandan artists (Damien Hirst helped fund its construction by donating a work).
