Chameleon Hill Lodge no other lodge like it in all of Africa – a unique – one of a kind Upmarket Lodge sitting on Chameleon Hill.
We live in a sea of sameness, of similarities, where even lodges follow certain styles and patterns and then there is the one of a kind Chameleon Hill Lodge, unlike any other lodge in Uganda.
Just driving up the Ridge and seeing the Lodge for the first time with its varying hues of color that seem to twinkle in the sun like multicolored African Chameleon – i reckon that is how it gets it name – is an experience in itself.
The Lodges unique architectural structures perched on a ridge with a stunning view of The Virunga Mountains and the Lake Mutanda make this boutique styled hotel the most picturesque lodge i know of in the Rushaga region of bwindi
There is most comfortable sitting area here and in the evening a crackling fire will warm you – it does get a bit cold in this part of Uganda but you will be delighted by the fine selection of wines the lodge has to offer – simply all around class and style.
Enjoy the sunset from here – take in the majestic – almost mystical Lake Mutanda below you and the majestic Mufumbiro Mountains – Mountains that cook – the Virunga Volcanoes. It all is an amazing array of sights, colors – one of Uganda’s most amazing, comfortable and luxurious locations along Lake Mutanda.
Your room is an individual cottage and of course it is en-suite with bath and the water is heated with propane which means a superb hot shower, something that on safari at times can be lacking.
The room of your cottage is colorful in and out, very functional and practical with quality furniture throughout as in the main lodge. There is also excellent bedding with another out of the normal things and needed in this colder part of Uganda…a duvet on your bed and if that is not enough, extra blankets are there for your comfort. There is also a safe for each cottage to keep your things safe and secure during your stay here. It seems almost everything seems to be thought of.
Activities – there area many – some such as canoeing in a dugout canoe on Lake Mutanda, hikes through villages and forest, birding and of course activities that we have you scheduled for such as Volcano Climbing, Golden Monkey Tracking, an interactive walk with the first people of the forest, the Batwa people all in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, There are also the activities in the Southern end of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things to do and see while staying at Chameleon Hill Lodge- no other lodge like it and the added plus is the view.
Reading the TripAdvisor reviews of Chameleon Hill Lodge – mostly give the verdict of excellent and the reviews where a delight to read and there was only praise about every aspect of this most unique Lodge in the Pearl of Africa, one of the reviewers was the well-known Travel, Tourism, Conservation writer Dr. Wolfgang E. Thome who one can be sure has stayed in a number lodges in his time, but even he wrote high praises about Chameleon Hill Lodge.
Chameleon Hill Lodge is an area that is a bit off of the beaten path for tourists to Uganda – however the Lake Mutanda is the gateway to the discovery of an area that holds many pearls in the Pearl of Africa.
