Conveniently located for the Central (and Mahoma) Trail, this luxury mountain lodge at the foot of the Rwenzoris has large cottages with fireplaces, sunroofs and hardwood details with riverfront balconies surrounded by old-growth forest. There are superb trekking opportunities in the immediate area, even if you're not keen on a hard-core mountaineering expedition. Massages too. All up, excellent value.
