Centrally located at theUWA chimp tracking base, you feel like you are right in the middle of the rainforest. Beautiful safari tents all with individual garden areas, nice and private. Verandas that look out over an area of forest with beautiful views. At night the sound of the forest surrounds you - absolutely fantastic! Food was totally DELICIOUS! All fresh... more

We have been to Africa before but our journey to Uganda and Ruanda topped what we have experienced so far! Especially the Primate Lodge and the nature around it outranged all our expectations! The tents were fantastically located in the middle of the forrest and mainly during the night you have heard unknown but exciting noises! You really felt like... more

For a place deep inside Kibale NP, you can't do better than the Primate Lodge. Consisting of a main building with a few small rooms and shared bath, several "tented cabins," and a "tree house," the Lodge offers comfortable, if basic, accommodations in a great setting. The food was excellent, and the service very attentive. We stayed in one of... more

We stayed in one of the luxury tents, which are basically very large permanent tents on wooden platforms. Primate Lodge is inside the Kibale Forest, and you can’t ever forget that you’re in the jungle. No other tents were visible from ours, monkeys chattered outside all day long and even ate on our little porch, and baboons ran through the... more

We came to Kibale to go Chimp tracking. The lodge is in a beautiful spot just down the road from where the Ugandan Wildlife Authority starts the walk. We ate our meals outdoors in an elegant manner. We stayed in a small Banda which had comfortable beds, carved furniture and a bathroom tiled in local rock, all eco-friendly and luxurious.... more

We stayed in the forest camp for two nights in July. The camp couldn't be better located within an easy stroll of the chimp centre in the middle of the forest. We stayed in the luxury tents which were very nice. The tents are in good condition with plenty of space and all the storage you could need. The bathroom... more

I was reading the comments about Primate Lodge and must say that I'm a bit surprised by the review below. Personally, I have been in Uganda already a few times and visited Primate Lodge twice. Both times, I absolutely enjoyed my stay! The staff was so friendly and helpful, and always treated me like I was a special guest. I... more

We had book a luxury tent paying in advanced. At arrival, we checked the flush toilet and it didn't work, so that we were moved to another tent. In the new tent the problem persisted. One pipe was broken. The manager told us they were unable to solve the problem until next day, we had to put up with that... more
