Over the last year, Celine Ishimwe, Volcanoes Safaris Head Botanist, and her team of 50 gardeners planted over 250,000 indigenous seedlings at the Kibale Lodge site to create both natural, reforested areas alongside more formal gardens of paradise.
Celine and Praveen Moman, Founder Volcanoes Safaris, have designed the gardens with inspiration from the Gardens of Paradise. Listen to her talk about the creation of Kibale Lodge gardens here.
We welcome guests to participate in a guided walk through the gardens with Saidi Kakuru, our experienced birder, to enjoy spotting the vast diversity of bird species around.

Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.
Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
