Cheap hotels in Kitahulira

Great lodge with the most amazing view of the forest! It’s located in a very quiet and peaceful area but it is easy to get there from Buhoma and Ruhija. Nelly and her staff are amazing and you always feel like home. I look forward to coming back.

Kaara is a truly magical place to stay for exploring Bwindi National park. We were welcomed by Wilfred and his team and then had an amazing and very warm welcome welcome by the local village culture group who performed music and dancing to tell us about their culture! This was the best welcome we have ever had to a hotel! Throughout our stay, all of the staff worked tirelessly to make us comfortable - from cleaning our boots after a days hiking (thank you Moses!) to setting up breakfast on the terrace to watch the sunrise! A particular highlight was a short sunset hike, led by Barnabus to give us panoramic views of the sunset and volcano! Thank you Barnabus - we really enjoyed this and appreciated you taking the time to walk with us! The staff lit us a fire each evening at the fire pit so we could have a drink as the sun went down. The chefs did an excellent job and the food was great! They also prepared delicious lunches for us on the days we were out hiking. Before we stayed, Peter was extremely helpful in sorting out our Gorilla tracking permits - even going to the bank when the payment was delayed and emailing them to us ahead of time! Having the permits sorted helped everything run smoothly for our days gorilla tracking. You do need to print the permits in advance so much sure you do this before travelling! Whilst staying at Kaara, we also did the Batwa Forest cultural experience (booked through the UWA) - we were unsure what to expect from this and were sceptical as it seemed to be a lot of money, however we were so glad we did! We hiked through the forest with some of the Batwa community who showed us about how they lived in the forest as we went. They showed us where they lived, how they made fire, climbed trees for fruit, caught animals and many more things. It was amazing to see how resourceful they were and also how happy and comfortable they were in the forest. I would recommend doing this to anyone who has an extra day after gorilla trekking.

Very attentative staff that makes you feel at home. Good quality food with daily changing menu options. Amazingly large room with the most comfortable bed ever! Huge bathroom including bathtub which was great after a long day hiking.

Amazing staff, they are always taking care of you. Amazing enviroment and very good location. Very good breakfast and dinner. Very good views and rooms beautiful and comfortable. Close to rushaga gorilla point.

Cylia was a wonderful host, really kind and helpful! The food was amazing as well. Everything was great.

Great place to relax after the gorilla tracking and enjoy the view from the terrace! Richard is the perfect host: he helped us organize the gorilla tracking close to the lodge, he took us on a culture walk to meet the local tribe and he made fire every night to sit by :) Highly recommended!

Friendly and very helpful hosts. The room we had was very spacious and had all needed comforts.

1 Fabulous staff. Moses is absolutely lovely and so helpful and attentive and made me feel so cared for. Alphonse was not often there but when I did see him he was full of useful information and advice and help. He arranged transport to the start of my Gorilla Habituation, took some dollars to a money changer for me and drove me to Muko on his boda boda and waited with me for 1.5 hours until the Jaguar bus arrived. Thank you Moses and Alphonse. 2. Silver the owner arranged my Gorilla Habituation permit for me for $50 3. The location of the camp is absolutely perfect and knowing this from last year I added an extra day to my stay so that I could enjoy just sitting on the observation deck relaxing for a whole day! Next time I will stay even longer! 4. My room Sitatunga was excellent--large and airy with very comfortable beds and a lovely en suite with hot shower and a lovely spacious balcony that Moses served my dinner on. 5. The food was very good and Alphonse very kindly allowed me to have just one course rather than the set meal as my appetite is small.
