I spent two night at Kyangabi Resort. This is the 2nd time I have visited it and it keeps getting better each time. Amazing customer service as always, good food, very polite staffers and we generally felt spoilt the whole time we were there. One of the highlights was picking fruits in their fruit garden. We were also upgraded to a nice family cottage despite having paid for a double room. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for affordable but classy accommodation near Queen Elizabeth National Park.

I landed on kyangabi by luck . i must say the pictures do not do justice to the resort itself. Went with my family and no one wanted to leave. The rooms well great, very clean, beautiful scenary , well organized great food and service.
I was initially worried about keeping the children busy but the pool came in handy with a life guard at all times, they have a play area with swings....
Very relaxing weekend i will definitely be back and highly recommend it with confidence.

I was looking for a place to spend my honeymoon in Uganda. And I found Kyangabi Crater Resort on Google maps. And as Google shows pictures of recommendations, and after visiting the website and looking at the pictures there I thought it was the ideal place to go. And when my wife and I arrived we were not disappointed. It's a place for all your dream travel experience in Uganda.
The amazing architecture of the resort and rooms, great customer care, amazing sceneries, great food (which most of it is sourced from thier own farm), everything nice🥰

Located in Rubirizi District, overlooking Queen Elizabeth National Park, one morning we woke up to a family of elephants right there. We went for a park drive and also boat ride on the Kazinga channel and the amazing overall scenes were spectacular. The only thing that was a disappointment was thier WiFi which is slow in most rooms. But apart from that everything was wonderful. Please visit this wonderful place. You won't regret it.

After trekking for 4 days in the mountains this resort was a welcome sight. Gorgeous rooms with full bathrooms, comfy beds, mosquito nets but most of all the balconies overlooking the plains for miles & miles. Every morning the monkeys ran past & we saw elephants - just beautiful. Lovely big swimming pool, well stocked bar & lovely food.

Stayed for an amazing 3 nights over the Christmas Holiday with my family. We were not disappointed! This new gem in the wild is the newest addition to a string of boutique lodges in the scenic Rubirizi district in Uganda, right on the fringes of the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our family cottage was atop a grassy embankment overlooking the sprawling savannah. From the balcony, we were able to easily view a variety of game foraging in the early morning (including the water Buffalo, the majestic Uganda Kob and - my personal favourite – elephants), which was an awesome way to start the day!
The amenities were new and world class; the linen was fresh and clean, the rooms were immaculate and spacious, with satellite TV, hot showers en-suite, room intercom etc. The service was excellent and friendly. I was also impressed to learn that all the food (fruits, vegs, poultry etc. ) was organically grown or raised on the adjacent family farm. Pleasantly surprised, keep it up.
