Chameleon Hill Lodge- no other lodge like it in all of Africa
Chameleon Hill Lodge – Fantastic Views of scenic Lake Mutanda and the Virunga Volcanoes in Uganda
Chameleon Hill Lodge – One thing is for certain, there is no other lodge like it. It is Colorful, Delightful, and comes with an incredible view overlooking one of Africa’s most scenic Lakes – Lake Mutanda. This Up-Market Lodge provides comfort beyond the Norm and an added touch of the owner’s eccentricity – which means the owner is uniquely themselves and the Lodge reflects just that. Clients of ours, who come here, love it.
They love the “Hobbit” like scenes of Lake Mutanda framed by the Virunga Volcanoes – they love the island-studded Lake and the many activities that be done here.
From the Lodge, you can easily access Mgahinga Gorilla Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – in both parks, you can track Gorillas and climb Mgahinga Gorilla Park volcanoes, hike, and track the Golden Monkeys. There are the Mutanda activities, the walks through villages, hills, and lakes, dugout Canoe outings to the Islands, and birding activities, to mention a few.
Chameleon Hill Lodge – a Lodge unlike any other:
Chameleon Hill Lodge, there is no other lodge like it in all of Africa – a unique – one-of-a-kind Luxury Lodge sitting on Chameleon Hill.
We live in a sea of sameness, of similarities, where even lodges follow certain styles and patterns, and then there is the one-of-a-kind Chameleon Hill Lodge, unlike any other club in Uganda.
Driving up the Ridge and seeing the Lodge for the first time with its varied hues of colors that seem to twinkle in the sun, like Joseph’s multicolored coat, is an experience.
Chameleon Hill Lodge is the creation of someone who walks to their drumbeat, someone who is uniquely themselves and brought to fruition an inner dream of a castle on a hill overlooking Lake Mutanda and like the bright array of colors you will find in the Chameleons of this area so Chameleon Hill with its collection of brilliant colors lives up to its name “Chameleon Hill Lodge.”
Step through the castle doors into the main Lodge, and you are entering a world of utmost comfort – a dining area where you can enjoy a superb breakfast, a great lunch, and a most memorable three-course dinner – if you have special dietary needs of one kind or another the capable chef can accommodate you to your satisfaction.
There is a comfortable sitting area here, and in the evening, a crackling fire will warm you – it does get a bit cold in this part of Uganda, but you will be delighted by the fine selection of wines the Lodge offers all-around class and style.
Enjoy the sunset from here – take in the majestic – almost mystical Lake Mutanda below you and the majestic Mufumbiro Mountains – Mountains that cook – the Virunga Volcanoes. It is a fantastic array of sights and colors – one of Uganda’s most astounding, comfortable, and luxurious locations along Lake Mutanda.
Your room is an individual cottage; of course, it is en-suite with a bath, and the water is heated with propane, which means a super hot shower, something that on safari can sometimes be lacking.
The room of your cottage is colorful in and out, very functional, and practical, with quality furniture throughout as in the main Lodge. There is also excellent bedding with other out-of-the-ordinary things needed in this colder part of Uganda…a duvet on your bed, and if that is not enough, extra blankets are there for your comfort. There is also a safe for each cottage to keep your things safe and secure during your stay here. It seems almost everything seems to be thought of.
Activities – there are many – some such as canoeing in a dugout canoe on Lake Mutanda, hikes through villages and forest, birding, and of course, activities that we have you scheduled for such as Volcano Climbing, Golden Monkey Tracking, an interactive walk with the first people of the forest, the Batwa people all in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, There are also the activities in the Southern end of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things to do and see while staying at Chameleon Hill Lodge- no other lodge like it, and the added plus is the view.

There was only praise about the Forry aspect of this unique Lodge in the Pearl of Africa, one of the reviewers was the well-known Travel, Tourism, Conservation writer Dr. Wolfgang E. Thome, who one can be sure has stayed in several lodges in his time. Still, even he wrote high praises about Chameleon Hill Lodge.
Chameleon Hill Lodge is an area that is a bit off of the beaten path for tourists to Uganda – however, Lake Mutanda is the gateway to the discovery of a place that holds many pearls in the Pearl of Africa –Lake Mutanda, Mgahinga Gorilla Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the Batwa Pygmies, Nature Trails and Hikes, even visits to nearby Rwanda.
