Chameleon Hill Lodge is a vibrant and exclusive retreat offering breathtaking views across Lake Mutanda, set against the majestic backdrop of the Virunga Volcanoes.
Each of our 10 luxury chalets is uniquely designed with its own color scheme and Euro-African style furnishings, ensuring privacy and tranquility for every guest. The rooms feature modern en-suite bathrooms with possibly the best showers in Uganda, boasting panorama windows that frame views of the lake and volcanoes even during your shower.
Start your day with early morning tea or coffee delivered to your spacious veranda, where you can soak in the serene surroundings before heading for breakfast or embarking on gorilla tracking or other activities.
Our dining area, perched atop the hill with a wooden deck, offers a panoramic view over the lake. Adorned with colorful art and featuring a romantic fireplace for chilly evenings, it sets the perfect ambiance for our renowned culinary experiences.
Led by our chefs, our kitchen excels in creating delightful dishes using the freshest local produce from our organic garden. Dinners are three-course affairs, featuring starters like cinnamon pumpkin soup or chilly and honey egg duo, followed by hearty mains such as charcoal-roasted Ankole beef steak or glazed chicken breasts with Arabic rice. Indulge in desserts like chocolate mousse or sticky banana caramel crumble to complete your dining experience.
For breakfast, we offer a selection of fresh fruits, homemade muesli, pancakes, eggs cooked to your liking, and a full fry-up, complemented by Uganda’s finest teas, coffee, and freshly squeezed fruit juices. Our wood-oven bread, baked with care, is a staple at every meal, catering to various dietary preferences including vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, or lactose-intolerant diets.
Relax in our cozy lounge area with stylish cement sofas, soft couches, and inviting armchairs, perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine by the fireplace. Our well-stocked bar offers a wide selection of drinks, including South African wines and other international favorites, paired with homemade nibbles.
Chameleon Hill Lodge not only provides a comfortable base for gorilla tracking but also offers excursions on our hand-built boat and rejuvenating massages by our onsite masseur. Whether you are exploring the area or seeking relaxation, our lodge ensures a blend of comfort, personalized service, and attention to detail that exceeds expectations.
From the wooden deck overlooking the lake to the private verandas in each chalet’s garden, Chameleon Hill Lodge invites you to unwind and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Lake Mutanda and its surroundings.
