I was a bit concerned staying at the Eco lodge but it was one of my favorite places on my trip to Uganda. I stayed in the cabins instead of the dorm style rooms and the cabin was amazing. Well outfitted, comfortable, quiet, a true piece of heaven. Large enough if you had kids yet also nice for a couple.... More

Many people bypass Budongo on their way up to Murchison Falls, but the chimp habituation (or tracking) experience is not to be missed. We stayed two nights at the eco lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. Our delicious food was served in a timely manner (not always the case in Uganda), and we had a very hearty breakfast to... More

Stayed there with a group of 12 doing R&R after some volunteer work. Chimp trekking was great with excellent guide. We did a morning trek after two hours of rain and the chimps don't like the wet. Still had good sightings on our 4-hr. trek. Food was excellent and the beer cold. Cabins were great but some of us, including... More

Wonderful cool place for the nature lovers. My clients Lee and Joy from Canada loved the place and the entire staff at Eco Budongo Lodge and promised to recommend this place to their friends in Toronto when they get back.

We arrived late (dark) and only had one night - but it was well worth it. Lodge and cabins are solidly built and attractive. Everything worked, including showers. Dinner and breakfast good quality, advice and help both first class. Tim and team helped with our 4wd problems and fixed us a boat trip at Paraa in the limited time we... More

I was at the lodge for two nights in July 2011. We arrived to the lodge and immediately took off for an afternoon of chimp treking in the jungle with our guide. The chimp treking was a once in a lifetime experience and our guide was very knowledgeable as well as capable to allow us to track the chimps and... More

We stayed only one night at the Budongo Eco Lodge and liked it very much: we arrived a little late in the afternoon due to problems at the Paraa-ferry and were lucky to get a guide for the two of us to do the chimp tracking. The guide was very knowlegeable and it was a once in a life experience... More

Good, inexpensive eco lodge in the heart of Budongo Forest, at the edge of Murchison Falls National Park. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with their own veranda, and excellent showers with abundant hot water and good water pressure. The food is good and plentiful, and the lodge can make you a packed lunch to take out for the day.... More

Staff are excellent, helpful and friendly. Amazing experience to lie in bed and hear the chimps. Rooms are of high standard and make you feel part of the jungle. Good place to relax before or after Murchison Falls.

We stayed in Budongo Eco Lodge for 2 nights in July 2011. The lodge is natural and rustic - don't come here expecting luxury! The lodge has semi detached wooden huts with a metal roof. Each hut is in its own forest clearing. They are very simple with composting toilets (they are clean and don't smell) and a truly excellent... More
