Ndali Lodge is set amidst the Bunyaruguru crater lake region of Western Uganda overlooking Lake Nyinambuga in an extinct volcano.
It is 26 kilometres south of Fort Portal at the centre of 1,000 acres of private, family-owned farmland still cultivated in a traditional style. The laid-back farmstyle with authentic quality cuisine is the perfect place to unwind after the rigours of tracking chimpanzees in the nearby Kibale Forest.
Ndali Lodge provides a perfect base from which to visit some of the region's most popular attractions. Visit Kibale Forest National park - the famous home of the largest concentration of chimpanzees in Africa, and a variety of other primates, birds and butterflies.
Tour the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, a community-based conservation project home to a variety of monkeys and rarely seen birds such as the White-winged Warbler, White-collared Oliveback and Papyrus Gonole.
Near the Lodge, Ndali provides local guides for walks around the 1,000 acre farm and the Ndali Vanilla processing plant or to the nearby Muhoma Falls. The lodge itself is the perfect place for a weekend retreat. Relax by the pool, enjoy the sauna and massages, practice yoga at the yoga pagoda, or simply recharge and watch the abundant flora and fauna, a good selection of which can be seen from the verandas of both the lodge and the cottages.
Ndali boasts eight individual cottages, all of which offer panoramic views of the Rwenzori Mountains and Queen Elizabeth National Park. Each cottage is built of local stone and thatch and is lit by solar energy. Large enough to accommodate a family, the cottage has en-suite facilities with bath and separate shower and a private veranda from which guests can enjoy watching the sun set behind the snow-capped Rwenzori mountains.
