Kibale Primate Lodge: A Detailed Guide To One Of Africa’s Best.

Primate Lodge Kibaale offers guests a unique and authentically Ugandan experience. Our lodge is located in the heart of Kibaale National Park, where travelers can enjoy the world-renowned hospitality of Uganda while surrounded by lush nature and incredible wildlife. Kibaale National Park is home to the world’s largest population of chimpanzees as well as 13 other primate species, making it known as the Primate Capital of the World. This beautiful park is also home to a great variety of other mammals, butterflies, and birds.

If you want to live in the heart of a forest and still get a luxury experience. The primate lodge is the best option, not only for its beauty but also for its proximity to the briefing point of gorilla tracking in Kibaale National park.

Perimate lodge cottages.

The cottages here are scattered across the forest, giving you this feeling that you are the only human living in the forest until you stumble upon another cottage.

The beautiful cottages are very welcoming, giving you a five-star experience in the Jungle. The rooms are consistent with a green theme, from the walls to the beddings, wall curtains and chairs making it very photogenic. If you would like to take photos for your Instagram or honey moon, this is a really cool place to do that.

The rooms.

These rooms are a well deserved experience especially after a long journey, with clean and comfortable twin beds. The kind of air you breathe here is as fresh as the rainforest offers. As you walk to the balcony there is a great view and you can hear great sounds of the jungle including chimpanzees from a distance.

Despite being in the middle of a forest you will never ask for a better place to call home. 

The bath

As you prepare to go trekking, this is one of the best bathrooms you have been to in a really long time. The bathroom is so spacious and you will fall in love with how the colors on the walls kind of complement the lighting so you have enough lighting. The windows are huge, awarding you with a great view of the exterior but as well have enough flight come through. The shower is so beautiful and as the water hits your body it's so refreshing. You also have a storage cabinet right here made of wood. With animal carvings the storage cabinet really looks amazing. 

“At some point while I was taking a shower I looked through the window and I saw a family of baboons. That's something I would have loved to film, but of course my camera wasn't with me in the shower, so I missed capturing that moment for you. It was such a lovely view”

The common area.

There is a bit of a distance from the dining area to the rooms but the walk through these green parts is so refreshing and at night you have stuff to escort you back to your room. There is a way that time flies when you are here because of the forest. You can't tell between morning, mid morning or afternoon. In the common area we have the dining, bar and lounge. You have access to wi-fi and you will carry with you sweet memories from all the great meals that were served to you in this place.

Meals

The organization here from the lights, staff, furniture is just the perfect environment for you to enjoy the meals.

The meals and the service right here at the primate lodge are really very lovely. They have three course meals for breakfast lunch and dinner.

 Right here is my leek and potato soup is really tasty.

All the soups I've had here have been really tasty. For my main meal, I ordered beef, bean chili, tila, some rice and salsa.

If you have any special dietary requirements, you can inform the staff and they will do their best to supply you.

The bar

Adjacent to the restaurant is a well-stocked bar where you can have a fresh cup of coffee or other drinks, while enjoying the magical forest that encloses the lodge.

The lounge

If you are into board games, there is something that you really need to check out, there is a very beautiful board.  

There's a lot of space for you to sit and relax in this upscale and cozy lounge with reading material and a great view where you have a fairly good chance of seeing a retail monkey or any other primate especially in the evenings. 

Camp fire.
