You are staying in one of just eight elegant, hand-built guest bandas. Each one features a gorgeous afro-chic design that focuses heavily on reimagined local artifacts, giving the space an authentic yet highly sophisticated feel. Depending on which banda you are in, you are either treated to spectacular, uninterrupted views stretching across the open savannah or looking directly over the dramatic Kyambura Gorge.
To break down the layout, the lodge features four deluxe and four standard bandas, meaning the entire property remains incredibly quiet and intimate. No matter which room style you are in, you will enjoy exceptional hospitality, including your own personal butler service to take care of your every need. You also have seamless Wi-Fi throughout your banda, and your stay includes a premium, all-inclusive drinks menu.
When you aren’t relaxing in your room, you can step just outside to enjoy the lodge’s beautiful spa and swimming pool, both offering stunning views of the national park. Go ahead, unpack your bags, let your butler pour you a premium drink, and soak in that view from your veranda!
You’ll start one of your mornings by making use of a brilliant new feature here: When you are ready to explore the broader park, you will hop into a safari vehicle and head out into the golden plains. This is your chance to track the park’s famous tree-climbing lions, spot leopards resting in the thickets, and drive alongside massive herds of majestic elephants and robust buffalos.
Next; a direct, private footpath leading from the lodge straight down into the Kyambura Gorge. You will follow your guide down into this sunken rainforest on an unforgettable trek in search of the famous ‘Lost Chimpanzees of Kyambura’. As you hike through this deep, green volcanic fracture, you’ll listen to the echoing calls of the chimps before tracking them through the canopy. Later, you can lace up your boots for the lodge’s brand-new walking safaris, designed to let you experience the dramatic landscapes of the gorge and the surrounding Queen Elizabeth savannah on foot.
If you love birds, you are in absolute paradise. You can head out with the lodge’s specialized wildlife guides to the Kyambura reclaimed wetland for a phenomenal morning of birding. You’ll also want to take a wonderful wildlife boat ride out on the Kazinga Channel, where you can scan the banks to spot some of the park’s six hundred amazing bird species—which is the highest count of any park in Africa.
For a deeper connection to the land and its wildlife, you have some incredible exclusive experiences lined up. You can join the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Team for a private presentation on their groundbreaking research and conservation efforts inside Queen Elizabeth National Park. You can also visit the Kyambura Eco-tourism project, where you can physically leave your mark on this beautiful place by planting a tree seedling in the vital wildlife buffer zone.
After a long day of trekking the gorge and exploring the savannah, the perfect reward is waiting for you back at the lodge. You can head straight over to the Kyambura Spa for your complimentary spa treatments and deeply relaxing massages, followed by a peaceful afternoon dip in the swimming pool.
