Lodge Bellavista Kibale Forest National Park Fort Portal is an Italian themed lodge overlooking Nyamiteza Crater Lake 40 km from Fort Portal and Kasese.
Built and managed by a retired Italian diplomat who has lived in Uganda for over 40 years.
The Lodge is beautifully located in the middle of series of Crater Lakes with an unmatched view of
Mountain Rwenzori and just a 35 minutes drive away from Kibale National Park the home of Chimps, 80 km away from Queen Elizabeth and 40 km from Rwenzori National Park.
Lodge Bellavista, thanks to its location gives the opportunity to visit lake Nyamiteza within the crater lake, a design made by nature over 10 million years ago as well as viewing the majestic Rwenzori Mountains.
It is also possible to swim or to board the canoe that is stationed at Lodge Bella Vista
The most taking aspect of the lodge is its vicinity to the lake within the crater on one side and the view of the Rwenzori Mountain on the opposite side, all this in a complete green environment.
The lodge is along the most important tourist road in Uganda and a stop over to spend a night or for a lunch is quite an opportunity for a tourist moving from the Murchison Falls towards Fort Portal and the National Parks on the south like Kibaale Forest renowned for its Chimpanzees, the Rwenzori National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park.
