Guest reviews for Isunga Lodge
"Exceptional view from a very well designed and beautiful space, great location, food was copious and delicious, staff was very nice, overall a very relaxing and satisfying stay, we didn't want to leave"
"Nothing, just make sure to ask for a room close to the restaurant if you struggle to walk as some of the rooms are down a fairly steep path"
"What a total gem! Location is fantastic- only a 30 minute drive to the starting point of chimp trekking. The views are amazing and there are a ton of great chill out areas on the deck. The grounds are beautiful with a ton of beautiful flowers and birds. The food was my favorite out of 7 lodges i stayed in during our trip to Uganda. The room was great and the bathroom was super clean and had a great shower. However, the highlight of our visit was the staff. They could not have been more accommodating or helpful - especially Brian! We were really grateful that they cleaned our shoes after our chimp trek."
"Just a heads up to those with any sort of physical limitations - the main lodge is down a steep path. Then the rooms are down another long-ish, steep path and stairs. I struggled a bit with my bad knee."
"I cannot rate Isunga Lodge highly enough! Simply stunning! Isunga is a piece of paradise overlooking Kibale National Park and with gorgeous gardens around the property with loads of flowers, birds and insects. The individual lodges are spaced away from each other giving lots of privacy. Each are decent in size, beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds, sitting/lounge area, huge shower with very hot water and great water pressure, plus an outdoor sitting area overlooking the forest below. Meals are fresh and delicious, served in the large restaurant area or outside side on pleasant days and evenings. The pool is great way to cool off and relax after a day of adventure too. Wifi signal is strong and available in the individual lodges too. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and always very welcoming with smiles and greetings. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back one day!"

"Everything, the view the service the rooms were spacious, private. Most important the beautiful garden. Great internet to work from the rooms. Helpful to arrange bodaboda rides and activities around. Easy to find, if you come with a rented car and driver, driver rooms are available. Loved my stay!"

"What an amazing lodge the views are incredible looking over Kibale National Park."
"The 5 kilometres of single road access off the main road is a bit of a hassle but totally worth the views. This is Uganda you come for the adventure."
"Isunga was wildly beautiful. Amazing views and rooms. The food was some of the best we've had in UG. The owners are authentic and friendly, as is the staff. It's easy to find and an easy drive to chimp trekking. Love love this spot."
"Not a thing!"
"Karen and Gerry have created a magical place. The whole space is beautiful built, the service is perfect: Special thanks to the kitchen for the very tasty vegan local food & the service team for making our stay 10/10. The rooms are very nice and have a fantastic view on the green, we hope to come back one day with family and friends again"

"A hidden gem in a quiet location and big rooms. Plenty of food options and the staff were super friendly. It felt safe with the gate and security cameras around the property. The rear sitting are and it was good to walk around the big gardens"
"Located right on the waterfront with access via a very badly damaged dirt road. The room was clean and comfortable, the shower was good, the view from the room was outstanding. The wifi connection worked well."
