About Nyinabulitwa Country Resort

Welcoming retreat alongside the spectacularly peaceful Mother of Lakes
Set back off a very bumpy and potholed road , about 20km outside of the town of Fort Portal in the western part of Uganda near Kibale Forest National Park, sits this delightful resort. With sloping manicured lawns the entire camp is straightforward comfort with little frills or fuss, the service charming and the food plentiful. The attractive surrounds alongside the shores of the small crater lake Nyinabulitwa, translated as the Mother of Lakes, makes the resort a perfect base with which to explore the area and a wonderfully relaxing respite after a hard days gorilla and chimpanzee trekking.

Property details

The property

Uncomplicated and basically decorated with traditional artefacts, traditionally crafted wooden folding chairs and rattan couches the thatch roofed main house is a lovely spot to dine and relax. People will tend spend time in their cottages, in the camp sights or around gardens to while away the hours, as the space around lends itself to admiring the outdoors long into the night. An outdoor fire pit with views over the lake is the perfect sundowner spot.

The rooms

The delightful and spacious cottages scattered around the gardens come either with or without terraces, some facing out over the lake while others are set amidst the foliage. Self contained, each is neatly done up with double or single beds, slightly dated but still perfectly decent rattan furniture and mosquito nets (not that you would need them at this altitude) There is also a campsite option available, with clean ablution, shower and barbecue facilities.

Activities

Take part in the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable forest or Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, which is an experience of a lifetime. The sheer beauty of the lake and surrounds of the resort is not to be underestimated. You can often spot different species of monkey and birdlife on the lake is prolific. There is boating, fishing, swimming or walking the nearby trails and visits to a nearby dripstone cave, Mahoma Waterfalls and "the Top of the World."
