About Chimpazee Forest Lodge

Chimpanzee Forest Lodge sits on 100 acres of manicured lawns, beautiful gardens, tea plantations, pasture, and indigenous forest. Enjoy beautiful panoramic vistas of Kibale National Park, ancient crater lakes, and the Rwenzori Mountains. Owned and operated by a Ugandan family, of the late John Switzer the son of the then British District Commissioner and prominent tea grower C.W Switzer.

Chimpanzee Forest Lodge was formerly a residence of the British district commissioner in the 1950s, during Uganda’s colonial period, and was innovated and turned into a Lodge in 2003, it has been wonderfully cared for and maintained ever since. Guests can relax in a comfortably furnished lounge with an excellent collection of colonial African literature dating back to the 1800s.
