'Here one can live like a king' ... Ndali is somewhere to soak up Uganda's beauty in a perfect peace ... Deciding to do something with the scenery rather than just gwaping at it, I coaxed a thatcher and trained herbalist to accompany me on a walk and give me a few lessons in local folklore I returned several hours later having had lessons in, among other things, removing venom from a snakebite with the aid of a rock.
Katie Sampson, Independent On Sunday

The emphasis at Ndali Lodge is on nature. Here the darkness is really dark; the silence really silent. There are 50 shades and hues of green... All can wander at will over the estate which abounds with birds, butterflies and exotic plants... The idea is for the visitor to enjoy Africa on foot - far more intimate than following the well worn safari trails, imprisoned in four-wheel drive vehicles.
Arnold Hadwin, The Sunday Vision

'The family-run Ndali Lodge is one of Uganda's most widely praised upmarket retreats. It has a stunning location high on the rim of lake Nyinambuga, offering panoramic views accross lake Rukwanzi and steep slopes lined in banana plantations to the Rwenzori peaks. The airy and tastefully decorated lounge and dining area, set in colourful flowering gardens, have something of an English country-house ambience, with a good library and superb candlelit, home-cooked four-course dinners.'
The Bradt Travel guide

'At the end of the ridge we came to Ndali lodge, a mix of rustic romanticism and post-colonial luxury. Indoor lighting was strictly the warm glow of a kerosene lamp, muted by gauzy mosquito nets. Guests take tea in the afternoon and evening drinks with other guests before [an] English-style meal..... The style feels almost Spanish mission, with the main building commanding breathtaking views of lakes on either side'
David Taylor - The Washington Post

'....Ndali lodge.....a thousand acre estate belonging to an Englishman, where coffe, bananas and vegetables are cultivated in the traditional African way. In spirit, however, this is home-counties England: immaculate lawns, festoons of morning glory, Marmite on the breakfast table, a chintzy drawing room with backgammon and scrabble sets, copies of the spectator and dogs lying around. The eight cottages are delightful, with four-poster beds, large bathrooms and verandas with views, on clear mornings, of the snowcapped peaks of the Mountains of the Moon..........where else on the equator can you sit in a rocking-chair surveying a scene in tropical technicolour agains a mysterious and misty backdrop reminiscent of the Alps?'
