Kyambura Gorge Lodge










Overview
Unrivaled gorge vistas
Nestled between the Kyambura Gorge and Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kyambura Gorge Lodge boasts all-encompassing views of the undulating savannah, the distant mountains of the moon, and the concave Kyambura Gorge. The former coffee store has entirely overhauled its public spaces and gardens to establish an awe-inspiring space for an adventurous and luxurious stay.
The lodge occupies an enviable location for tracking endangered chimpanzees in the forested Kyambura Gorge and for guided game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park where you have the chance to spot big game such as elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and hippo. New walking safaris have also been created around the lodge for guests to experience the breathtaking landscapes of the surrounding area. Guests can also contribute to the conservation of the Kyambura Gorge ecosystem by participating in the Kyambura Gorge eco-tourism project.
Eight opulent and spacious guest bandas set on the hillside incorporate a modern African theme with a focus on re-imaged local artifacts. Each banda, with its own bathroom, overlooks a different facet of the sweeping vistas across the gorge and verdant savannah of the national park. This warm and welcoming eco-sensitive lodge also has a relaxing spa and swimming pool for guests to enjoy.

South africa honeymoon
"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."

south africa safari
"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless. I wouldn’t plan another trip to Africa without them."
