“It’s a beautiful, secret place up the hills ! It’s like a small paradise. Basic equipped, but everything you need. The g”

Perfect location in the mountains. Not easy to reach. Awesome owner.

“A nice spot for a couple of days away from it all.”

A nice spot for a couple of days away from it all. it feels really remote but in reality your not too far from town.

“When you are in Uganda you need to visit it!”

Excellent humble place to stay up in the mountains near the Rwenzori. Alexander and Ferdinand are two very friendly people being. Ferdinand is a very good cook and you are able to eat local dishes there. If you have a 4WD vehicle it is possible to drive up the hill. The driver should be good in driving in the mountains. You can park your car right under the site and Alexander can organize a watchman to keep your car safe. Everyone around this place is very friendly and the local community is awesome. It is definitely a original African place where you can sleep in Bandas. There is a shower and a toilet which you can use. They also offer a lot of activities around the local area. We did the hike to the waterfall and Alexander gave us many and interesting informations about the area. We also talked for many hours one night. Very lovely place with very lovely hosts.

“Do not miss out on this place”

This place is incredible!! Worth re-organising your whole trip just to come here. Spectacular scenery, Alexander was a fantastic and knowledgeable host. We enjoyed hiking through the Rwenzori mountains with him. Ferdnant is the best chef in Uganda, delicious food and a fun cooking class. Can't wait to come back. Just book it!

“Friendly staff with a superb view over queen elizabeth park”

The view and the staff were amazing. A paradise away from the hustle and bustle of Kasese.

“A challenging but beautiful place to stay”

Be prepared for a challenging 30-minute trek up the mountain to get to this place. The road -- if you can call it that -- is shockingly bad, full of ruts, rocks and mud. If you've got your own vehicle, 4x4 in low-low is a must. Otherwise, get a bodaboda to take you up the mountain. Once you get to the top, the view of Lake George, the Rift Valley and the Rwenzori's is worth it. The staff helped carry our bags up the last 200 meters to our huts. The dinner and breakfast were quite good and the beer was cold. We didn't take any hikes to the waterfall but I've heard they're excellent.

What a great stay in the Rwenzori Mountains to support the local community. People are very friendly, food is delicious, waterfall hike and coffee workshop were amazing. Simple facilities, don't expect too much comfort.

“stunning place, beautiful experience”

very stunning location, very peaceful and lovely staff - highly recommend this, it is a beautiful experience!

I am really very impressed by Mbunga. This accommodation that belongs to a local community to help the inhabitants of this region. First of all I am shocked and very gratified to have discovered this site. I can say that it is a retreat place to rest and relax. Reflect away from the noise of the cities. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I am very grateful to Alexander, Erwina. They are wonderful. They are pleasant all the time and Alexander is a great host. He always helps you in everything. He is also a very knowledgeable guide about the community. He knows the culture of his people and explains it in depth. The accommodation is really authentic. It is the perfect solution if you are looking to integrate into the nature of this beautiful region and want simplicity and authenticity. The local experience in this part of the Rwenzori foothills is Mbunga. The tranquility, the contact with nature and the views of this beautiful valley. I can say that Mbunga is my own Shangri-La in Uganda. I absolutely recommend the experience. Includes excursions to the Roriki River waterfall, which is incredible. The purity of the water in this river is amazing. And unknown.

“Picturesque, a wonderful place to stay.”

What an amazing place, located at the very top of one of the rwenzori foothills it is an absolutely stunning place to spend a night, or a week. The staff were all amazing and incredibly welcoming, kind and facilitating of every need.

At about 1800 above sea Level this place offers a great view into the Mountains and down to the Plateau. Very friendly staff, good food in large amounts. We took a guided Walk to the Border of the National Park Mount Rwenzori at 2300 m above sea level and to beautiful Rukoki water fall. Very friendly and knowing Guide. We saw a three horned Chamelion up there. We also booked a Camp fire with Story telling. A very homey experience with Lots of Exchange about all aspects of live, some home-brewed banana bear and fire grilled Chicken. Definitly worth visiting. Driving the Last 6 Miles with a Car is not advisable. We parked the Car at Kilembe Police station and took motorcycles sent by the Camp up to the Camp.

The location is superb. The view of the Rwenzori mountains and the plain is spectacular. The guided walk up to the waterfall was interesting and beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting to learn about the local culture. It was a calm and restorative place and it was good to learn the campsite is part of the community and not simply a profit making enterprise.

“go there !”

the location of this place is just amazing! the activities are so nice and you feel like a part of the village. everyone look after you, even when you go out the campsite. The best point is the staff and his manager Lodric who you cannot forget after you trip. Chill nature and good vibes! thank you again ! Ingrid and Bobbi

“Simple place with very good breakfast Rolex”

Place was very simple corresponding to the low price. For breakfast I ate the best Rolex during our three weeks vacation in Uganda. My companion enjoyed driving on the old broken road in the mountains leading to the accommodation. It was challenging.

It was supposed to be the best accommodation according to reviews. But the only incredible thing was the view and mountains and the ride by motorbike. The manager tried to communicate through WhatsApp and solve things.

“Incredibly beautiful place to stay near Mt Rwenzori”

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!

It was in a location high up into the hills with great views, very friendly staff and lots of activities on offer.

The surroundnig was very beautiful and the hike to the border of Ruwenzori National Park that is offered by the knowlegable staff member Alexander is highly recommended.

“Spectacular location, awesome staff. Don't miss!”

Location and views are out of this world, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experiene. A very special place, not to miss.
