Accommodation (Updated for 2011)
Sipi River Lodge offers a variety of accommodation styles. All accommodations are located close to the main house. Within the main house guests will find an intimate dining room with a log fire, stylish bar, comfortable reading lounge and airy veranda. Internet access is also available for guests with laptop computers at 10,000 UGX per hour.
We try to grow all our own vegetables and some fruits in our garden and this is reflected throughout the season within the menu. Other items such as cheeses and meats we source locally. All breads and cakes are made by our staff and are served fresh. Being located in one of the world's finest coffee growing areas we source all our coffee from our own garden and prepare it in our kitchen. A little secret up here in Sipi is that in our bar you will find a selection of around 14 different whisky's - and we try and keep a stock of eight or more of our favorite single malts - It's a great choice to have on a cold evening after a full day of hiking, and if you can't choose you may just have to try them all!
All prices include large continental breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and cakes and 4-course evening meal.
New Luxury Banda's coming soon...
We have been busy building two new self contained bandas over the last few months and they are going to look great. We're not rushing the project, but trying to put plenty of time into the design and building process. We hope to have them finished by Spring. They feature a shower with a view of the falls, in a large clean bathroom, a main room with a large double bed and sofa's and easy chairs, and to the side a slightly separated room with a smaller double bed and a pull out single bed. They offer the best private views of the waterfall from any of our accommodation. Each unit will be themed separately yet both are essentially the same design. The new Banda's will sleep up to five guests and will be perfect for couples, families or friends.
Prices TBA

NEW! The Chepkui Cottage Annex, or "The Seven Dwarfs House"
This year we are happy to announce the opening of a lovely little add on to the cottage, what we like to call The Seven Dwarfs House. This tidy little room is right next to the cottage and has been fitted out with a big comfy double bed and decorated in line with the Cottage. It shares bathroom facilities with the Cottage. If you are a large group or family then you can spread out into the annex as well. For instance Grandparents and Kids can stay in the cottage while the Parents get a little escape in The Seven Dwarfs House! For larger groups this offers a fantastic value for money self-contained unit. .
Prices are the same as the cottage. See above.
