Manatana Kibale
One of Uganda's oldest and most established camps offers a very warm welcome, providing seclusion and exclusivity in enchanting surroundings, nestled among the secondary forests on the outskirts of Kibale Park. The large, en suite tents themselves are simple and spacious offering a rare combination of wilderness and comfort with a real emphasis on personal service and attention to detail.
The staff here are fantastic, all originating from the local communities, with a wealth of knowledge of the areas to make sure you get much more than just a bed. Staying here really gives you a feel for Kibale itself and the birdsong in the morning is a great way to help you wake up!
