i was recently on a tour around western Uganda and had the pleasure of staying at the Kyaninga Lodge. The atmosphere is breathtaking, the view from my private balcony supurbe. Looking out at that vast Ugandan landscape, over the crater lake, creates a feeling of serenity that i have never felt elsewhere. The service was friendly and prompt. The food... More

I stayed at Kyaninga Lodge with my husband and small baby for a weekend and had a wonderful time. The lodge is beautifully situated at the rim of a small crater with a crater lake at the bottom. The views from the main building and the individual cottages are stunning. Peeping down at the crater lake, the rolling hills surrounding... More

It really is a stunning place, built on the edge of a crater with a beautiful lake below, in which it's well worth a swim. It was the last stop on a wonderful tour of Uganda very well organized for us by Imagine Africa. We stayed for a couple of nights. The staff were friendly, but not the most efficient.... More

Perfectly stuated at a ridge overlooking beautiful landscape. Beneath East Africa's cleanest lake. Mineral spa for free - morning swims will never be the same again. We extended our stay from 5 to six nights. Food is excellent, staff is friendly, accommodation is exquisite.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Kyaninga Lodge this year. We were at Kyaninga for one night and two days. The setting of this lodge is exotic with sweeping views of lush green forests on one side and breathtaking blue Kyaninga volcanic crater lake on the other. The surreal looking silhouette of the Rwenzori mountains almost... More

Recently spent 5 nights at the lodge, set above a beautiful crater lake, Kyaninga lodge is perfect. The log cabin style lodges have a modern stylish bathrooms and massive king size beds and are constructed beautifully. The view on the first morning took my breath away, a forest surrounds the lake which you can walk around and can take a... More

Definitely one of our favorite stays, not just in Uganda but anywhere! Sadly we only had 2 nights and were away doing the chimp habituation in Kibale for our one full day so we didn't get to take advantage of all that the gorgeous property has to offer. A longer stay is recommended! The cabins are gorgeous - the design... More

Wonderful views over the lake and mountains, delicious food, the most delightful staff and every detail of the design is just right The story of how Steve has worked with the local community and introduced new skills to build this lodge entirely out of timber is truly awe-inspiring. Gold stars for his dedication to detail, commitment to the local community... More

Spent one night here this weekend- unfortunately couldn't stay for two as it was booked out for the second night. It was amazing- stunning views, professional staff, excellent food and very clean. Would recommend this to anyone and its not as far away as we thought- only 3hrs50mins from Kampala. Thanks guys :D

Our final destination before heading back to Entebbe was Kyaninga Lodge for 3 nights. The lodge is set on the edge of a crater lake with the backdrop of the Rwenzori mountains - again, heaven on earth. As with all the lodges, the staff were outstanding. Special mention should be made to Scovia, Lillian and Danny who worked tirelessly to... More
