We stayed in Kyaninga Lodge for two nights in June 2013 as part of a trip through southwestern Uganda arranged by African Pearl Safaris. We were busy with out safari (swamp walk, chimp trekking, a visit to local caves and other crater lakes), so had only limited experience with Kyaninga Lodge and its services. However, I would love to return... More

It's was a wonderful place! It sits high up and the views are 360 degrees unbelievable. Swimming in the crater is invigorating and clean. Nice little hike to get there. Also you can walk around and see herb gardens, bird watch, etc. the manager Mathew has done a super job of training his staff, as they are all genuinely happy... More

Wow, the view from Kyaninga Lodge is just lovely. I stayed there for 3 nights recently, and had a nice time. The lodge is very beautiful and charming. Because of its small size it is also intimate. The staff were very friendly and personable, Lillian the waitress was a joy - she also managed to set up my girlfriend with... More

Looking out at that vast Ugandan landscape, over the crater lake, creates a feeling of serenity that i have never felt elsewhere. The service was friendly and prompt. The food... More

I stayed at Kyaninga Lodge with my husband and small baby for a weekend and had a wonderful time. The lodge is beautifully situated at the rim of a small crater with a crater lake at the bottom. The views from the main building and the individual cottages are stunning. Peeping down at the crater lake, the rolling hills surrounding... More

It really is a stunning place, built on the edge of a crater with a beautiful lake below, in which it's well worth a swim. It was the last stop on a wonderful tour of Uganda very well organized for us by Imagine Africa. We stayed for a couple of nights. The staff were friendly, but not the most efficient.... More

Perfectly stuated at a ridge overlooking beautiful landscape. Beneath East Africa's cleanest lake. Mineral spa for free - morning swims will never be the same again. We extended our stay from 5 to six nights. Food is excellent, staff is friendly, accommodation is exquisite.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Kyaninga Lodge this year. We were at Kyaninga for one night and two days. The setting of this lodge is exotic with sweeping views of lush green forests on one side and breathtaking blue Kyaninga volcanic crater lake on the other. The surreal looking silhouette of the Rwenzori mountains almost... More

Recently spent 5 nights at the lodge, set above a beautiful crater lake, Kyaninga lodge is perfect. The log cabin style lodges have a modern stylish bathrooms and massive king size beds and are constructed beautifully. The view on the first morning took my breath away, a forest surrounds the lake which you can walk around and can take a... More

Definitely one of our favorite stays, not just in Uganda but anywhere! Sadly we only had 2 nights and were away doing the chimp habituation in Kibale for our one full day so we didn't get to take advantage of all that the gorgeous property has to offer. A longer stay is recommended! The cabins are gorgeous - the design... More
