We did the tent glamping accommodation which was fantastic, surrounded with all lush greenery, bring flashlight if you’re doing the tent stay, bathrooms are outside tents and it’s a bit dark walk to bathrooms, but bathrooms have light you can turn on and they are clean wit clean showers. At nights staff do campfire close to restaurant to sit around and have beer, food is delicious buffet style. Staff are super friendly and kind and helpful. The property has lots of gardens to explore and walk around. Everything was fantastic except one downside was during Christmas season there is a church that is located close to the lodge and they had loud prayers with singing and music extremely loud till 6 in the morning, so loud that even earplug didn’t help and we had no sleep entire night till 6 in morning. Something has to be done about that church music, the lodge must talk to the church to have some consideration about the guests. Really not fair and very disappointing with that loud church singing.

My group tour stayed at Kluge’s Farm during our visit to Kibale Park and we all loved it! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
The tents were clean and comfortable (with electricity and plugs for charging)
Wifi available in the restaurant and bar.
The bar had a variety of drinks.
Laundry service was quick and reasonably priced.
The grounds were managed well and beautiful.
Would definitely stay here again on another trip to Uganda!

A wonderful place to stay. After an adventurous ascent you reach the beautiful property, which bears a German signature in a pleasant way. You will be greeted by a lovely German shepherd. The water pressure and the electrical installation (Schuko) speak for themselves. The garden is unique and the kitchen has many delicacies ready, including e.g. Königsberger Klopse or sauerbraten. The goat comes highly recommended. The gracious and perfect staff invites you to an informative tour of the farm, explaining the fauna and flora. The boss, Stefan Kluge and his wife create a family atmosphere. Mr. Kluge also helps if you get stuck with the vehicle. It is worth chatting with him about his extensive experience of living and working in Uganda. We were particularly impressed that even after we left, he asked about the health of a family member who was not doing so well the night before. Kluge's Guest Farm is highly recommended.

We stayed twice at this place - three nights each stay. It is a marvelous place on a "living" farm with a spectacular garden and a rainforest with Colobus Monkeys. The rainforst you can experience yourself or on a guided tour with one of their staff.

We stayed on the campground with two vans: one Roof top tent and one campervan. The Campground has a perfect layout and is levelled. The ablutions with toilet and hot showers are very clean. There are two sink to clean the dishes, two large covered shelters to sit when the sun is shining or when it is raining - both with powerpoint.

The owners, Stefan and Mariam Kluge, are caring and warmharted hosts. These two and their staff are extremely supportive and helpful. They booked for us a chimpanzee trekking in the Kibale Forest NP and a guided hike in the crater lake area.

The restaurant offers very good food at reasonable prices.

We enjoyed the stay a lot; sitting at the bonfire with a cold beer, facing the Rwenzori Mountains was just astonishing.

A great place that we recommend a lot!

Cannot recommend the Kluges Guest Farm enough! The grounds are simply stunning which includes a lovely pool area for the heat of the day and fire pit area to enjoy a sunset and nightfall. We stayed in the bungalows which were quite nicely appointed and very clean. Water was provided in the room along with a fan. The staff were very nice, and the lovely owner was such a welcoming woman. We stayed here while doing a nearby chimpanzee trek and this was the perfect place to relax before and after such an amazing experience. We felt very safe- it was an oasis in the midst of a hectic trip.

The farm is a Paradies with a lot of flowers and very charming hosts close to Fort Portal (about 30 min). Our room was very spacious, the staff very friendly and helpful, and they offer tons of homegrown food for dinner. With the help of the owner we started a very nice tour to the crater lakes with the company "Uganda crater lakes tours" from here. Only minus point: the road to the lodge was a bit tricky after rainfalls. It's best to take the access way from the road a109 (Fort Portal - Kasese).

As part of G Adventure tour through Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda - we had the privilege of staying at the Kluges Guest Farm for 2 nights. The accommodations were comfortable - furnished tents - the food was delicious and the staff were warm and welcoming. They could not do enough for you to ensure you enjoyed your stay. And the opportunity to jump in the pool after a hot day was a treat! I highly recommend staying here.

At Kluges Guest Farm we stayed in the tent accommodation. It was an amazing experience. Not just a small tent as we first thought. It is quite large and covered with metal roofing. It has a small covered patio at the front so you can sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the animals. Plenty of room to move about and for your bags. Queen size bed. Only thing to remember is that you have a short walk to the bathroom and toilet facilities which were neat and clean. Only drink bottled water. Food, dinning and bar facilities were excellent. Very friendly staff.

We have spent two nights at Kluges Farm, staying in the furnished tents. The property is very nice, situated in large garden, with trails going around banana plantation and forest where you can spot colobus monkeys. The tents are spacious and beds are comfy. Shared bathrooms are clean and nearby. Restaurant and bar is centrally situated, with huge firepit and chairs outside. They also have small swimming pool on site. Wi-Fi works great while in the restaurant. The food was very good, probably best I had while in Uganda.

We were here 3 nights and came to rest, it is in a nice area with very nicely kept gardens. The food and rooms are also very good here. There is also a small walking route where you can also encounter everything. The owner and staff are also very friendly and helpful.
