If you're not a "seasoned" international traveler or have never been to Africa then you could easily think the rooms here are dumpy, BUT for seasoned travelers, especially to Africa, you will appreciate the beauty and charm of this place. Out of 5 places we stayed during a 12 day trip, this place was #1 on my list of most... More

The location of the lodge is breathtaking, nestled between the craters lakes high in the mountains. The place has a great atmosphere and feel, history and pride in every corner. The common areas are great, swimming pool is nice a cozy. Food and service are excellent. With the owners living in the premises management and attention to details is tip-top.... More

I just absolutely love this place. We stayed on New Year's Eve and had a fabulous time. Apart from the almost impossibly beautiful location, with the Crater Lakes beneath you and Congolese mountains in the distance, what makes it so special is that the Lodge has been crafted over many years by a family very much attached to the land....

You will not want to leave Ndali Lodge once you have experienced breakfast on the verandah and gazed out at the beautiful Lake Nyinambuga. The style is elegantly colonial and the staff are graciously attentive and friendly. Aubrey and Clare Price create a delightfully convivial atmosphere and no request is too small or demanding. Evenings at Ndali are fun as... More

Fantastic views in a wonderful part of the country. The service was outstanding, the chalets extraordinary, the hosts extremely welcoming, and the food absolutely delicious - especially the fresh salads grown from their own garden! We particularly enjoyed a splendid sunset with our hosts Clare and Aubrey. Aubrey focused his telescope on Jupiter allowing us a spectacular view of it's... More

I loved this place! the setting is breathtaking and the pace is so laid back. I could have stayed here forever! If international standard 5 star hotels are your thing then this is not for you but if you like to stay somewhere different and unique then you cannot miss Ndali. There is no electricity but this is not a... More

Certainly the best lodge around Fort Portal - without seeing other places we are sure you cannot have a more beautiful, romantic and well designed lodge. We felt as staying at a friends house and not as a hotel guest. It is owner managed with passion and dedication to give the best to the guest in every aspect. The food... More

We spent two night at Ndali and this was like coming to heaven after leaving Kampala. The location is just magic in the ridge of a volcano crater, overlooking a crater lake on one side and the gorgeous Rowenzori mountains on the other. Fantastic staff, really cozy but large cabins, with coffe or tea served on your deck in the... More

To describe Ndali and give an impression of its true flavour is almost impossible for a mere mortal. Our second visit to this magical place was two days of pure pleasure. Our welcome, our beautiful and huge lodge with views of the Mountains of the Moon, lakes, forest and farmland, the overwhelming flora and fauna that feasts the eye, the... More
