Lake Nkuruba Nature Reserve

If you are looking for a great accommodation in the Fort Portal/Kibale NP area, look no further! We stayed here for our Chimp Trekking adventure - which is only a 30 minute drive away. You are staying in the midst of nature, on the banks of the ONLY crater lake in the area that still has pristine forest all around! We spotted three different species of monkeys during our stay. Our cottage was beautiful and very clean, nice hot shower and a toilet with an unbeatable view! Food in the restaurant was also great, and very helpful and friendly staff. The road up to the lodge is good. Highly recommended!

We stayed 2 nights at the campsite with car with Rooftop tent. A nice and quiet place with view over the Lake. Friendly staff, good food, lots of beautiful Monkeys and birds, guided walks. We did a walk along the lake, so peaceful. After the walk just sit and relax, you dont need more. Basic Toilet and shower Facilities. There are also nice cottages overlooking the Lake or the Mountains. The only challenge is to find the right way to come there. Mapsme sended us the shortest route in kilometers but not in time. The route was very challenging. But when you arrive there, the nature is the best present.

We spent our last night of our 2-week trip around Uganda at this very well maintained, beautiful campsite and we could not have chosen a better place to end our journey here! Staff and manager very super open and friendly, breakfast was very good and the view from our rooftop tent on our rental car was perfect, including all the action in the trees right in front of us, with dozens of monkeys jumping over into the next tree. The lake also provided for a very relaxing swim and is a wonderful option if you want to explore a Crater Lake with a jungle rim and full of life.

This is such a beautiful place! Surrounded by woodland and overlooking the lake, with excellent facilities and lots of monkeys! My room was really comfortable with hot water and electricity. I did chimp tracking and the forest&top of the world walks, all of which were fantastic.

Me and my husband stayed here for 2 nights for our chimp trekking experience ! Nice property, clean and basic rooms, good food. The property is bit away from the main road, which makes it essential to have a personal vehicle, to reach the chimp centre. The property has a beautiful lake and natural grounds, where we spotted several species of birds and primates and even a mongoose ! Great for birding ! Make sure you head down to the lakeside to enjoy a dip in the cool waters or to relax on the banks ! Their service in the restaurant is good, polite staff make it warm and hospitable, within a decent budget. Julius the owner was approachable and interacted with us.

Simple, but amazing. We were about to stay for just one night, but stayed for three. Super friendly staff, great nature and calmness of the lake. If you want to experience pure Uganda, these guys show you how. Professional guidance and support for the local communities. Would recommend.

My favorite place in uganda without doubt. I take my guests here since 10 years ago and I love this place plus all people that my company takes here love it. Best management and also staff plus nature and great food and atmosphere. Great cottages and also accommodations

We had our first two nights in Uganda in the Lake Cottage, which is a longish walk down a narrowing path and completely isolated, which is just what we wanted. From about 6pm until 10am we had the quiet and solitude that we had expected when making the booking. However, the cottage is next to the bathing site, with no fencing or indication that it is not a communal asset. The result is that while having an afternoon nap, people would come onto our veranda, sit in our chairs and have noisy conversations. Groups would troop across the verandah looking for footpaths. Unsupervised day visitors even tried to use the cottage wall as a lavatory, so my four stars are really quite generous. The view across the small lake was beautiful and there are many bird and monkey species in the vicinity. I found the male staff more congenial than the ladies, who were a bit abrupt. Food was decent, beer was cold and fairly priced. The accommodation was quite basic, but the Lake cottage has its own water heater, shower and flushing toilet, so fine for a couple of days. Luckily there is a double and a single bed, since the double was rather narrow for two people and also a little short. Bring a torch, as the walk down after dinner would be difficult without. Dining as night was falling over the lake was a great experience, as was breakfast, keeping an eye on the monkeys.

We stayed here for 3 nights and had the best time, The cottage overlooking Rwenzori is the best to stay in, the food was nice and the staff was very helpful. We loved being a round different species of monkeys and swimming in the lake. We also saw some rare species of birds like the African gray parrots and a giant kingfisher. All in all we loved this place and we would highly recommend it.
