Family hotels and homes in Kisoro

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!

Santaviva is located in the center of Kisoro what makes the place very authentic. The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom is basic but has everything you need. We traveled by public transport and Ivan, the manager, arranged our night bus from Kampala to Kisoro. It made our journey very pleasant to travel over night instead of during the day. This was if the recommendation of Ivan. It’s also only a 10 minutes walk to from the bus, pleasant. Ivan took us out to a local bar to watch a football match, a place where we normally wouldn’t go I guess. Ivan and the rest of the staff are very kind and helpful. The food is also very good. we enjoyed the place a lot and it was always a nice feeling to come “home” after the gorilla trekking or just wandering around in Kisoro. Highly recommended place to stay in Kisoro.

Gorilla Hills Eco-Lodge is a fantastic place to base your gorilla trekking adventure. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and well appointed, but what makes this place special is the staff. They are fantastic. We never wanted for anything. The service was incredibly personal and they went above and beyond at every opportunity to ensure our comfort and happiness. There was quite a serious snafu with our gorilla permits and Anette and her staff bent over backwards to straighten it out for us. Without their intervention, we would have left Bwindi without seeing the gorillas. They saved our entire trip. I can't thank them enough. The gorilla trekking was absolutely the highlight of our stay in Uganda. If you are going, it is a must do - bucket list- incredible experience. That said, with total confidence, I highly recommend Gorilla Hills Eco-Lodge.

Very comfortable room. Pretty good location. Kisoro seemed to not have a lot of great options, but this place worked for us. I'd stay again.
