Hornbill Cave Campsite - $

A Roadtrippers' recommendation if you are travelling with a rooftop tent, as you will not be able to pitch it at the nearby Kibale Forest Camp. Hornbill Cave Campsite has a very friendly owner, campfire and a beautiful setting in nature. Nothing fancy, but there is a clean (cold water) shower and pit latrine.
