Crater valley kibale is budget style accommodation beautifully located on the tranquil crater Lake Nyabikere (meaning lake of frogs), facing the Mountains of the moon (Rwenzori) where snow is visible on a clear day. It is purposely built eco-tourism for travelers. CKV is unique by its location on the lake edge surrounded by forest, monkeys, baboons and birdlife unequalled by any other accommodation in the area.

The beach offers visitors genuine local family hospitality, delicious local and international meals, mineral water, sodas, beers, Uganda gin, honey wine, coffee and local tea.  CVKs garden was purposely planted by the owners to provide the fruits and flowers necessary to attract the monkeys and birdlife which travelers can now watch and experience while relaxing with a cold drink and hot meal.
