Rwonyo Rest Camp is easy to reach since it is located inside Lake Mburo National Park, which is close to Kampala, the starting point for many tourists. Unlike other campsites managed by Uganda Wildlife Authority, Rwonyo Rest Camp is an official campsite run by a dedicated team that works hard to offer good service.
To give visitors a real feel of Africa, the camp was built without modern materials. It blends with the natural environment, making it different from other camps. The camp has bandas made in the shape of wooden huts, with shared showers. It also has tented rooms set on raised wooden platforms with private showers, giving guests a more comfortable stay.
Some of the natural materials used in construction include grass thatched roofs, wooden poles, and locally made items. These natural features attract wild animals, so guests can often see animals around the camp without going for a game drive. Nshara Gate is just opposite the camp, and it is about two kilometers from the park headquarters. This makes it easy to join park activities.
After activities, guests can relax by the rocky pool and watch the colorful sunset over the savanna. If you like fresh air, you can also sit near Lake Mburo, which is home to hippos and attracts zebras and impalas that come to drink water. These moments make the experience special.
Tasty meals are served at the camp’s restaurant, giving guests a chance to enjoy local food. The meals are prepared by professional chefs who know how to cook both local and international dishes. The camp has a few rules for a smooth stay, such as check-in time at 12:00 pm and check-out at 10:00 am.
Visitors must carry an ID for registration. Children under two years can stay for free, but those above that age must pay. Guests are advised to carry their own tent, or they can rent one at the camp.
Rwonyo Rest Camp is a good option for budget travelers on safari. It offers fair prices and a real experience close to nature.
