Glamping Sites in Kasese

This is a magical place! You are staying in the heart of the national park - elephants, hippos and plenty of birds at your doorstep! Sunset and dawn will give the place a magical touch! This is a truly astonishing place. Staying here is an adventure & you support the local community which is living in the national park. This is a very important contribution to nature conservation - it is so important that the local communities benefit from national parks & not only the owners of the high end (and high price) lodges. But be prepared to be very close to nature - if you panic when hippos & elephants walk through the camp this might not be the right place for you. Otherwise it is totally worth every dollar, euro or ugx. The huts are super comfortable, clean and well maintained. Of course it is not a super luxury place - but honestly who needs that if nature provides all that beauty. You can get to the camp with bodas or you can get picked up by a driver (around 80k). The drive to the camp is a mini safari on its own. Tip: We made the mistake to book a safari in advance from an company in fort Portal - rather arrange something with the locals - our neighbours did a boot trip on the lake with a local fisherman & they loved it! You can cook your own meals if you are traveling on budget & know how to cook on fire :) Thanks for this experience!

Firstly, the staff at the property could not have done more to take better care of us during our stay. Alfred, the manager, assisted us with directions to the hotel, bookings in the park and supported us in repairing our rental car. He went above expectation for us and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Albright in the bar/restaurant was attentive and kind. Steven, the chef, prepared great meals for us on demand - the packed breakfasts for early morning drives were exceptional. The location of the property is a perfect base for the QENP. Around 5 minutes from the equator and the crater lake drive and around 10 minutes to the nearest park drive entrance. The room was comfortable, the shower was hot and we’re grateful for the hospitality.

Mbunga Community Campsite was one of the most incredible and unique places I have stayed. From the boda ride up the mountain, the incredible views, the friendly staff, the community around the campsite, and the overall atmosphere, I can recommend this place for travellers who are looking for a unique stay near Mount Rwenzori. Alex and Kule were incredible guides during our community walk and hike, and we got to see how the community makes coffee (be sure to buy some while you're there!). The hike to the waterfall is also incredibly beautiful!
