The location of the camp is very convenient if you are planning to do golden monkey trekking or to climb Mount Sabiyeno. The Mgahinga national park gate for those activities is right beside the camp. It’s about a 25 minute drive to the other gate used to climb Mount Muhavula. The camp’s grounds are well-maintained. It’s quiet and feels secure. It’s right next to the community and staff will provide an informative guided community walk for $10 US per person. The rooms are clean. Furnishings are basic but comfortable. Decor is traditional. We stayed in two different rooms. One was more spacious and could sleep up to four people. It had a lovely private porch. There’s also a common porch on the main building where meals are served, and a volleyball net. The food was delicious and abundant. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful, and professional. This Camp is excellent value for the money.

This was a great hotel in Kisoro. The facilities were great, it has breakfast included with many different options and they were tasty. The host, Ivan, is an encyclopedia of knowledge on Uganda and surrounding areas. He helped book a tour for me and also transport to the border with Rwanda. I would definitely stay here again.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! 🤍 Its not just the room or location, but I have never met that kind of hospitality that I met there. I got into some troubles because of a company that suppose to take me to the gorillas. The owner of Mondi’s, Moses, was calling late night for hours and trying to find the solution. He was never even met me. And the staff (Okello & Fred) also supporting in every way that possible.

We had a great night at the homestay. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast is served on site and dinner is just a short drive away. Both were delicious. Our host Emily went above and beyond to make our stay better and helped us sort our Gorilla Trek the next day. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Mgahinga!

What a wonderful stay! Gideon and Esther were above and beyond welcoming. The gated house has two rooms with attached bathrooms, along with other rooms I didn't see, but my guide stayed in. They provided a warm, local dinner and great conversation. We had tea together and fresh fruits and juice were provided upon my arrival. Their son came by and was enjoyable to talk to. He is an eco-conservationist and manages a nearby zip line you should check out. They leant me soap and basins for washing my clothes and had clothes lines in the back, surrounded by a growing veggie garden we ate from. They don't have permanent wifi yet, but their son provides a fast hotspot through a phone left overnight. When you meet good, local people during long travels, you feel at home. I hope they are doing well and that more people visiting Kisoro stay in this accommodating homestay!
