Lake Murusi is one of the crater lakes of Kasenda, south of Fort Portal in Western Uganda. On its western shore, about thirty metres above the water, we are building a small lodge: a main house with lounge, bar and pool, and three cabins set into the green slope, each with its own deck facing the lake.

Six suites for up to twelve guests. Timber, glass and quiet, with the view at the centre of every room.

Main house: Lounge with fireplace, bar, dining room
Pool: 10 × 4 m, overlooking the lake
Lake: Stairs down the slope to a private jetty
Altitude: about 1,250 m above sea level
Rate: USD 500 per suite per night

Where

The Kasenda crater lakes lie in the hills south of Fort Portal, close to Kibale National Park. Lake Murusi sits in a steep green crater surrounded by banana gardens, about 1,220 metres above sea level. The lodge is reached by car, with parking right beside it.

Bookings will open together with the opening date.
