A complimentary laundry service is also available. Rooms are equipped with power outlets, charging facilities, hairdryers, and fans (though air conditioning is not provided). Wi-Fi is accessible in the main lodge and the bandas.
Activities at the lodge and nearby include chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, located just a 30-minute drive away, as well as a four-hour chimpanzee habituation experience.
