Lake Nkuruba Nature Reserve

I spent 4 nights here relaxing after 3 months volunteering in Uganda. A beautiful spot to relax. My bungalow was rustic in keeping with the surrounds but very comfortable on the crater rim looking out on forest and glimpses of the lake. Worked my way through the vegetarian options and enjoyed all of them thanks to Brenda and her team. Beautiful birdsong and a birder's paradise. Watched two Crowned Cranes roosting in the trees from my verandah each day and enjoyed the antics of all 4 varieties of monkeys, and the mongooses and tree squirrels. Did a 6 hour walk with Rogers guiding me to other crater lakes and Mahoma Falls. Lake Nkuruba is clearly the jewel in the crown. Swam in the lake most days and found my way around the trails. Staff all very friendly and helpful. This place is a real gem!

Un alloggio in un luogo incantevole, immerso tra gli alberi e affacciato su di un lago, molte scimmie che saltano da un albero all' altro e molti uccelli colorati. Gentilissimo il proprietario, molto orgoglioso, a ragione, del suo lodge. La nostra camera molto pulita e curata. Si può anche fare campeggio.

We stayed in the lakeside cabin for 2 nights. The cabin was a bit rustic but what makes the place so amazing is the lake and surrounding nature reserve. It’s so quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We even swam in the lake just steps from the cabin. The staff are also very kind and friendly and the food was good for all of our meals. We also did one of the activities offered by the lodge which was a few hours hike/walk through the surrounding area to an incredible view point. We would have loved to do more of the activities offered but didn’t have enough time. The nature reserve, lake, and the surrounding crater lakes region in general is a very beautiful place.

Cosy rooms, wonderful views just in the middle of nature! There is a beautiful lake which is hippo and croc free. Also, at least three different monkey species will be your neighbours :-). The food was very tasty and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Special greetings to Brenda!

If you are looking for a great accommodation in the Fort Portal/Kibale NP area, look no further! We stayed here for our Chimp Trekking adventure - which is only a 30 minute drive away. You are staying in the midst of nature, on the banks of the ONLY crater lake in the area that still has pristine forest all around! We spotted three different species of monkeys during our stay. Our cottage was beautiful and very clean, nice hot shower and a toilet with an unbeatable view! Food in the restaurant was also great, and very helpful and friendly staff. The road up to the lodge is good. Highly recommended!

We stayed 2 nights at the campsite with car with Rooftop tent. A nice and quiet place with view over the Lake. Friendly staff, good food, lots of beautiful Monkeys and birds, guided walks. We did a walk along the lake, so peaceful. After the walk just sit and relax, you dont need more. Basic Toilet and shower Facilities. There are also nice cottages overlooking the Lake or the Mountains. The only challenge is to find the right way to come there. Mapsme sended us the shortest route in kilometers but not in time. The route was very challenging. But when you arrive there, the nature is the best present.
