“wonderful place and lovely staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Wonderful place to stay. After a day on the road from Kampala this was like heven. Lovely huts with a beautiful view. Coffie at the patio in the morning, enjoing the view. The meals were very good, and served in a lovely atmosphere. The staff is so friendly, and do whatever they can to pleace you. Stayed for two nights. This is a place I would love to go back to.

“return to beautiful Ndali”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

To describe Ndali and give an impression of its true flavour is almost impossible for a mere mortal. Our second visit to this magical place was two days of pure pleasure. Our welcome, our beautiful and huge lodge with views of the Mountains of the Moon, lakes, forest and farmland, the overwhelming flora and fauna that feasts the eye, the hosipitality where nothing is too much trouble - yes - you have guessed! We love Ndali! Thank you Aubrey and Clare and everyone who made our time at Ndali such a joy.

Room Tip: All the rooms are good.

“Wonderful lodge”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

We had a very good time during our last trip trough Uganda & Rwanda at the Ndali Lodge. Stunning views and nice walks around. The staff is very friendly and helpful, good meals. The cottages are huge and very clean. Lovely place to be.

“Great location - poorly managed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

person found this review helpful

There is considerable potential for improvement in the management. The lodge and surroundings are simply crying for basic maintenance efforts. Steps are not repared, chairs not replaced when they reach retirement status. When you ask for a missing napkin or glass, it is simply taken from another setting on the table. When that guest arrives, the missing items are again taken from somewhere else on the table....or from the neighbouring table, and so on until the staff is out of table supply and must go to the cabinet....ten steps from the table.

The prices are top end, the value at the opposite end. At half the cost it would be too much.

The "complimentary" glass of "champagne" (actually Spanish Cava, black Freycinet, cheap sparkling wine) served to everyone standing around on New Year's Eve turned up on my bill, as 1 Glass of Champagne sh.10,000.-. Come on!

“Bring cash!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

Absolutely charming, candlelit dinners, stunning views, lovely atmosphere, very relaxing. The owners were away when we visited, but the dogs looked after us; they slept on the verandah and followed us on our morning run! I would happily recommend this to anyone - families, friends, honeymooners. But remember to bring cash - dollars for accommodation and Ksh for drinks and extras, as you're really out in the bush here and the nearest ATM is in Fort Portal.
