Kyambura Gorge Lodge occupies a converted coffee store overlooking Kyambura Gorge, a deep rainforest ravine nicknamed the ‘Valley of Apes’ for the chimpanzee community that lives within its dense tree cover.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Individually styled suites built from the original coffee store structure, each with views over the surrounding savanna and gorge.
Food & Service
Ugandan dishes served with panoramic savanna views, in keeping with Volcanoes Safaris’ community-focused hospitality style.
Activities
Chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, game drives across Queen Elizabeth’s savanna, and boat safaris on the nearby Kazinga Channel.
Wildlife & Photography
The gorge’s isolated chimpanzee population, cut off from other groups by surrounding farmland, makes for a genuinely distinctive tracking experience within a broader savanna park.
A Photographer's Note
The gorge’s dense forest canopy contrasts sharply with the open savanna above, offering two distinct photographic environments within a single stay.
Conservation & Impact
Volcanoes Safaris’ Kyambura operations fund the Kyambura Gorge chimpanzee community’s habitat protection, an isolated population facing particular conservation pressure from surrounding agriculture.
