AT HOME IN NKINGO

Small enough to feel personal.
Room enough to unwind.

Our lodge is in Nkingo Village, approximately 3 km south of Kanyanchu, the visitor centre for Kibale National Park. The drive to the centre takes about ten minutes, making it easy to return after a morning in the forest.

We offer 12 spacious, self-contained rooms, a raised restaurant with a viewing balcony, an open-sided bar and friendly, professional service. Our team brings together experience in tourism, hospitality, environmental management and human resources spanning more than 15 years.

We are also at the gateway to the Ngogo research area, known internationally for long-term chimpanzee research and the documentary Chimp Empire. Visitor chimpanzee tracking is arranged through the park’s authorised visitor programmes; the research station is a separate scientific site.
