IBANGA ESCAPE — Hotel in Bunyaruguru/Kichwambe Volcanic Field

Ibanga Escape is a little gem in Kichwamba by the highway as you drive to Rukungiri! We stopped by for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by how warm and inviting the space is. The lounge area is beautiful, perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a few board games with friends. Jamila, who runs front of house and also doubles as the chef, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The service was as delightful as the atmosphere.

They also have lovely cottages available (UGX 350,000 for a single and UGX 700,000 for a double), making it a great stopover or getaway spot. There’s even a swimming pool under construction, which will make this escape even more appealing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

For those seeking adventure, Ibanga Escape offers activities such as cycling tours, hiking tours, boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel, and game drives around Queen Elizabeth National Park. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

I was passing through this area and stopped at Ibanga Escape for lunch and it was fantastic. I had already become obsessed with the famous Ugandan roles, and Ibanga makes a great one! If you are in the area and need to grab food, look no further than Ibanga. I did get a chance to look at their rooms and they looked amazing - personally designed with a local flare. I would definitely stay here next time I'm...
