Chimpanzee Forest Lodge is one of the best places to stay. It is owned by a Ugandan family and was first built in the 1950s. It is still well managed today and keeps its old African colonial design from the 1800s.
The sounds of the 1950s are still felt today, as some visitors stay in the big guest house that was once the home of a British commissioner. The place has not lost its beauty. It still has two self-contained rooms with furniture and a wide view of Kibale Forest, tea plantations, and crater lakes.
Chimpanzee Forest Lodge is built on 100 acres of land filled with well-kept lawns, gardens, tea plantations, pasture, and natural forest. From here, you can enjoy wide views of Kibale National Park, old crater lakes, and the Rwenzori Mountains.
The lodge is owned and run by a Ugandan family. It belonged to the late John Switzer, the son of the British District Commissioner and a well-known tea farmer, C.W. Switzer.
Chimpanzee Forest Lodge was once the home of the British commissioner during the 1950s colonial period. It was turned into a lodge in 2003 and has been cared for very well since then.
Guests can relax in a lounge with furniture and read old books about African history that go back to the 1800s.
Tourism is growing every day and bringing many people to different tourist places. That is why it is advised to book early, especially during peak seasons, so proper arrangements can be made.
If you’re looking for an excellent mid-range lodge directly across from Kibale National Park, Guereza Canopy Lodge is a great choice.
