Family-run Ndali Lodge lies adjacent to the Kibale National Park, amid the Bunyaruguru Crater Lake region of Western Uganda.
Surrounded by 1,000 acres of fertile farmland, it perches on the rim of an extinct volcano, which is now filled with the blue-green waters of Lake Nyinambuga, which is 130 metres deep.
Backed by the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, the lodge has neither electricity nor generator and offers a collection of simple stone and thatched cottages.
Location
Kabarole District, Western Uganda, 320km west of Kampala and 35km south of For Portal.
The Background
One of the last remaining areas of rainforest in Africa, Kibale offers dense forest with 250 tree species, grasslands, swamps and a scenic field of volcanic craters.
Standing at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains, the park is an extension of the Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of Uganda's most recent national parks.
Most famous for its chimpanzee communities, statistics suggest that the park offers the visitor a 75% chance of viewing these fascinating creatures, over 600 of which live in nests in the tree canopy.
Accommodation
A selection of cottages faces west to the Mountains of the Moon, each with a selection of bedrooms and ensuite bathroom facilities.
Wildlife highlights: The park supports a rich mammalian fauna that includes 12 species of primate, most notable of which is the chimpanzee. Other animals include the bushbuck, red duiker, blue duiker, bush pig and civet. Rare species are the buffalo, giant forest hog and forest elephant.
