Kyambura · Queen Elizabeth National Park · Luxury

Kyambura Gorge Lodge is a Volcanoes Safaris property set above Kyambura Gorge within Queen Elizabeth National Park. The lodge occupies a restored 1950s colonial-era building that has been repurposed into a boutique safari lodge with eight bandas, each with a private veranda. The position above the gorge gives the lodge a distinctive setting — the forested rift below is home to a habituated chimpanzee community, and chimpanzee trekking into the gorge is one of the primary activities. The Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust operates a community coffee project in the area surrounding the lodge. Local farmers grow and process coffee, which is served at the lodge and available for guests to experience through guided coffee tours. This initiative is part of a broader pattern across Volcanoes Safaris properties of linking tourism revenue to community development. Beyond chimpanzee trekking, the lodge provides access to Queen Elizabeth National Park's game drives on the Kasenyi plains and savannah areas, and the Kazinga Channel boat cruise — one of Uganda's most popular wildlife-viewing activities. The combination of chimp trekking, game drives, the Kazinga Channel, and the community coffee project makes Kyambura Gorge Lodge a well-rounded base for exploring the eastern side of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
