• Papaya Lake Lodge

Home Is Not A Place… It’s A Feeling

A place surrounded by the lush, evergreen landscapes of the Ugandan Great Crater Lakes region, set between two extinct volcanoes, nestled against the turquoise waters of the Lyantonde and Kifuruka lakes and with exhilarating views over the majestic Ruwenzori Mountain Range. An oasis of nine luxurious cottages, a restaurant and a beautiful swimming pool with a scenic terrace. A place established with great passion, appreciation of local culture and attention to detail that makes life worth living.

Fort Portal

Fort Portal – often referred to as the garden city – is one of Uganda’s most beautiful cities. It sits at about 1,500 meters above sea level and is surrounded by lush rolling hills, rocky crater lakes, and tea plantations. On a cloudless day, the snow-capped summits of the Rwenzori mountains peak out. Fort Portal’s superb location in western Uganda ensures that you are never too far away from your chosen adventure. The city is conveniently positioned as a half-way point between the north and south.

CALM COLOURS, SUBTLE ACCESSORIES

We love to make you feel at home

Papaya Lake Lodge offers nine spacious and bright cottages. All are situated on the extinct volcano crater’s slope and have breathtaking views of Lyantonde Lake. Each cottage offers complete privacy, hidden from view by a natural screen of green treetops. Eight of the cottages feature two beds (one king-size and one single), local stone-decorated bathrooms with shower units, and verandas equipped with deckchairs.

A WARM WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE

a skip away from Uganda’s top attractions

Experience the breathtaking views of 9 crater lakes in the area. Tour includes a visit to the crater lakes and lava pipe (called Mwitampungu which means a place that kills eagles) which is a volcanic hole that automatically sucks birds in flight and later releases them in an upward curve. We will also visit the local communities and several scenic view points. The pool at Papaya Lake Lodge is truly a pool with a view… probably the best view around! Possibly the best view ever! Situated atop a hill, our pool offers a spectacular, 360 degree unobstructed view of the surrounding wonders of nature: the Crater Lakes, the Mountains of the Moon and the countless fruit and spice plantations.
