Travellers Rest Hotel (Moderate) $$: 

What can one say, but a place of History...formerly owned by Walter Baumgärtel, the father of Mountain Gorilla Tracking for Tourists, a place that Dian Fossey used to call it her second home, that George Schaller used to stay at.  In those days it was a bit rougher, now it is self-contained and running water, comfortable place, a big fireplace in the lounge area, a comfortable place, close to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, close to Lake Mutanda and within reasonable reach of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

During the 1960's The Travellers Rest Hotel became a base of operations that was used by George Schaller, Bernhard Grzimek, Raymond Dart and Dian Fossey, and many others.

Travellers Rest represents a good value, good food, and a central location for various activities such as Golden Monkey Tracking, Volcano Climbs, Gorilla Tracking and the Batwa Trail.  There are also various boating activities that you can do at Lake Mutanda.

It is owned by Nature Lodges-who do a most wonderful job in other locations such as Bush Lodge, Kibale Forest Camp, Airport Guesthouse.

From the courtyard - you have a beautiful view of the Volcanoes-and you walk around town and twice a week there is the market - which is a wonderful experience

You are in town and it is about the best place to eat there.  Travellers Rest is a good value and comfortable.  Enjoy.
