About
New Fort View Hotel is a budget accommodation facility located in Fort Portal, offering rooms along with a restaurant. Fort Portal Town is a 3.1 kilometre drive from the hotel, and Queen Elizabeth National Park is approximately 26 minutes away. The hotel provides twin rooms and standard double rooms at budget-friendly rates, with free and secure parking on site. Fort Portal is one of Uganda's most strategically placed towns — it serves as the gateway to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale Forest National Park (home to the highest density of primates in the world), and the Rwenzori Mountains. Guests using New Fort View Hotel as a base can access chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, game drives in Queen Elizabeth, crater lake walks, and day trips to the Rwenzori foothills — all within a one to two hour drive. The town itself has markets, cafés, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a natural stopping point on a western Uganda circuit.
