Ruboni Community Camp

Ruboni Community Camp sits in the Rwenzori foothills below the Portal Peaks, and — unlike most accommodation options near Kasese — is community-owned rather than a standard commercial property.The camp is run by the local community association, and staying there puts money directly into the villages at the foot of the mountain. If the community-ownership model is accurately represented, it is a genuine responsible-tourism story worth telling properly rather than reducing to a marketing line — which is exactly why we want to get the specifics right before publishing them.

Location

In the foothills below the Portal Peaks, generally considered one of the closer accommodation options to the Central Circuit trailhead at Nyakalengija.

Accommodation

Short guided walks and community visits can usually be arranged directly from the camp, which makes it a good option if you want a taste of the foothills without a multi-day trek. If so, this could be a genuinely good option for travellers wanting a taste of the foothills without committing to the full trekking itinerary.We can book this for you as part of your trek arrangements.
