Chimpundu Lodge

Stupendous staff, gorgeous property, elegant bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms. Abundance of butterflies, super spa time, delicious food by a proper chef. We simply can't say enough about how tremendously the staff worked to make our stay phenomenal.

Superb customer service from the staff- we got spoiled. The room we had was more than what we could ask for and the best part was the massive bathroom with a tub!! We loved the balcony facing the jungle. We enjoyed our time just drinking our coffee and tea there. We got a couples massage and although it’s not what we are used to in the States, it was great! They cleaned our shoes after we did the swamp walk and went above and beyond in making sure that we are taken care of. It is actually here that we spent the morning of our 10th wedding anniversary and per my husband’s request they decorated our bed. We were just here for a night, wished it was longer though.

Our stay at Chimpundu Lodge was outstanding—one we’d happily repeat. The room was a calm, well-appointed retreat with everything a traveler needs. The king-sized bed was very comfortable and beautifully made. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with a private porch we loved and a bathroom that felt both spacious and inviting. We didn’t have time to enjoy the large soaking tub—though it was tempting—but the shower was excellent. It was roomy, kept the water contained, and the handle was responsive and precise when adjusting the temperature. The water pressure was perfect, making it the best shower we’ve had in Uganda so far—15 days in. The WiFi was very reliable, both in the common areas and in our room, which was a welcome surprise. The common areas were warm and welcoming, with comfortable furnishings, local art, and plenty of natural light. The porch, with its beautifully set outdoor tables, was a perfect place for lunch or dinner. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive. They handled my food allergy with care, and the alternatives they provided were both thoughtful and delicious. And after our muddy chimpanzee trek, they even washed our shoes and socks for us—a small but incredibly appreciated gesture of hospitality. The pool was a bonus—clean, cool, and refreshing after a long day. We stayed here during our chimpanzee trek, and it couldn’t have been more perfect—comfortable, convenient, and memorable. Overall, Chimpundu delivered a high level of comfort, service, and style that made our stay truly enjoyable.
