Perched dramatically on the rim of a volcanic crater lake and framed by the legendary Rwenzori Mountains, Kyaninga Lodge is a masterpiece of vision, craft, and soul. Lovingly built over six years using more than a thousand hand-carved logs, this extraordinary retreat blends natural grandeur with refined elegance.

Each of the eight elevated cottages is a sanctuary of space and style, with timber-framed beds, cozy sitting areas, elegant en-suite bathrooms, and sweeping views from private balconies. Designed for indulgence and reflection, the lodge offers an experience as breathtaking as the landscape it overlooks.

The main lodge features open fires, a grand lounge with soaring ceilings, and expansive decks for dining under the stars. A serene swimming pool appears to float above the lake, offering postcard-perfect moments at every turn. The restaurant serves European-inspired cuisine with a fresh Ugandan twist — much of it sourced from the lodge’s organic garden.

Beyond the beauty lies rich adventure. Kyaninga is the perfect base for chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest, crater lake walks, or visiting nearby community projects supported by the lodge. Whether you’re tracking wildlife or soaking in the silence of nature, your stay at Kyaninga feels both wild and wonderfully private.
