Bugombe Gateway Camp

Their hospitality is perfect, the staff is really so caring meals are served in time .
The cottages are comfortable and more of African touch ohhhh God the sound of the birds singing and appreciating nature as you enjoy the view of the Lake ...Am so happy that I had to start the year with such  a beautiful experience from Bugombe
  "Bugombe Gateway camp is the place to go"

If you want the full Lake Bunyonyi experience, this is undeniably the place to go. The customer care team, overseen by Hannah, is so welcoming. They attend to your every need with the utmost urgency and professionalism. The food is also well prepared, with a personal touch to every plate and the prices are affordable. 

The rooms? Where to begin? they are large and spacious. If you are worried about the skin-biting coldness in Kabale...worry not!! The team provides enough beddings to keep you warm and toasty.  

As for the view of the morning rising sun while still in bed over the balcony that is strategically left open for .... I assume ... this very reason, is a MARVEL TO BEHOLD. I still cannot get over that sight.

This accommodation is beautiful. It is more than a place to stay while you tour Kabale, it is an experience in its self.

Really nice place with cozy apartment. The restaurant is cheap and serve good local food. The staff is also really amazing. The lake is next to the hotel so you can go for a fantastic morning swim if you want or just chill in the morning sun at you balcony with lake view. We enjoyed our stay very much!

The camp is located directly at the Lake. The staff are very friendly and want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I had a room with balcony and lakeview. The room was separated from the balcony by a strong curtain only. Rooms with walls all around are existing as well but for me it was wonderful to hear the animals waking up during sunrise. The food was very good. A small village is nearby where you can by basic things.

The manager and the staff are unbelievably nice, friendly and welcoming. 
The rooms are well designed, the shower is good and there is almost always hot water. 
The breakfast is good and includes one dish and a hot drink, as well as fruits. 
The view is incredible 

Overall we couldn’t be happier with the place

Spent two days in this very nice place. Indeed a budget hotel as far as price yet very high standards of  hospitality and staff graciousness.   The place has beautiful view and many relaxing oppertunities. Highly recommended.

We’ve stayed in Bugombe for three nights. Meriano was super nice and lovely. He welcomed us with a pineapple juice and gave us a wonderful boat tour the next day. The view is very nice and the camp itself is a place to relax and calm down. 
It was also the first time that we could walk alone for a bit around the sea without being annoyed by traffic or vendors (no judge, but we were in Kampala for too long before haha). 
The food at Bugombe is really nice! Also, the (strong) coffee is delicious with notes of chocolate. You get a whole can of coffee or tea, which I find very generous. 
Apart from that, Breakfast was a bit simple, especially if you’re having the same everyday (pineapple, banana, toast, eggs + tea/coffee). 
The first day, they didn’t have milk and butter but Meriano bought it for us. Hot chocolate they don’t have. Beers were not fridge-cold but cold enough. 

Maybe it was because we were very few tourists and it’s off-season and covid-pandemic, but we had to ask for hot water in the shower every time we wanted to bath and they had to heat it with wood, so it could take up to 2 hours. Though they said, it’s not like that when the rooms are all full and used.. 

The wooden room was nice and comfortable. A bit cold though because they don’t have windows or a door to the balcony (just a curtain). Shower was ok, little water. (Western) toilet worked well. 
The bed was comfortable, good mosquito net. 
Since it was rainy season it was mostly cloudy and rained in the afternoon, so it was also a very little moist in the room and hard to dry clothes for example. Also too cold for swimming for us. But I guess it must be different during dry season. 

Definitely make a boat tour to some islands. We saw zebras and antilopes on another island.

Also go to the local pork point and get some fresh fried or smoked meat, that was awesome! You get a good meal for 10K for two people. 
It’s opposite to the handcraft shop. 
Also check out the local market, you can find trousers and shoes for a good price. 

There is a tailor around and a couple of bars with pool tables. Locals are very welcoming and peaceful. 
Bodaboda to Kabale costs 10K per person. 
In Kabale you gets Jaguar Bus for 20K per person to kisoro. Very recommendable peaceful city! 

All in all, nice lodge! Not the best (and fastest) service during off-season. Unfortunately we couldn’t pay with credit card despite that Ana (the manager) has confirmed us that it’s working. 
No wifi also.

Our stay was unplanned – so we spent just one day there but the experience was very positive. We stayed in a tent as all rooms were booked. The staff and especially Maurice were very friendly and helpful. Both dinner and breakfast were good. The real treat is the view to the lake and swimming or canoeing inside. Good place for value conscious travelers.
