Stated for two nights in January. Took a wonderful tour with Johnson and Captain Dan all round the lake. The lake is 900 metres deep but you can swim as it is warm enough. Delicious crayfish and excellent steaks. Smiling, unhurried service. Will be back.

We ended a four week stay in Uganda with two days at Birdnest. It was the perfect place to finish our journey because all we had to do at Birdnest was to relax! You could sit the entire day looking out over Lake Bunyonyi and you wouldn't tire of it. Watching the boats cross back and forth, watching the birds,... More

After 16 hours on mostly dirt roads, we got to Birdnest at 11.15 p.m. We appreciated the sandwiches which were made for us, but, despite offering to pay for a room, we... More

We had a fantastic 4-night stay here in December 2012. The owners are delightful, friendly but not intrusive. The staff are attentive, always smile and we were treated to some traditional dancing and singing one afternoon. They seem genuinely happy to be working there, which is great to see. We love the dog Pacino! The views over the lake are... More

We decided to stay at Birdnest by paying extra on top of our gorilla trekking safari and we were glad we made that decision. We were welcomed by Pacino the resident dog after a long drive from Ruhija. The staff was friendly and we were shown to our deluxe room with a lake view soon after. The room was clean... More

This is the best hotel in Uganda! Friendly staff, excellent food and amazing view on Lake Bunyonyi. We stayed in Birdnest for one week and enjoyed each minute. We recommend this hotel and hope to back there in a couple of years. Mila and Victor - Honeymooners
