Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Kibale guest cottages! The cottages are situated in a beautiful big garden overlooking the edge of the rainforest. You can spot hornbills, great blue turaco’s and many other birds from your private terrace, amazing!

The rooms are spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. Also the people there are very helpful and welcoming. Shout out to Fred and Sam for the good stories and all the arrangements. Would 100% recommend!

Superb
Pros:

Nice bungalows in the green, a few minutes drive from the chimp trekking site. To our query, the staff arranged for a local guide to spend the afternoon with us and walk with us through the local community. A very tasty dinner and cold beer on the terrace were a nice bonus.

Cons:

Everything was fine.

Pros:

Especially the staff, both the owner and Fred were wonderful, we had great talks with them! The romms are very nice and clean.
The pool table in the bar is nice for the evenings.
The location is great, in pure nature, very close to nature and community walks- highly recommended as well as the Chimpanzee tracking.
