Uganda Lodge

Uganda Lodge is a brand new Guest House, Camping Site, Bar and Restaurant, whose profits are channelled into developing local community projects. It is located alongside the main Mbarara-Kabale Road between Itojo hospital and Ntungamo. It's a 3-4 hour drive by car from Kampala and by request buses will stop right outside the gates.

The property is ideally situated for a weekend away from Kampala, or as a stop-over on the way to mountain gorilla safaris or en-route to Rwanda and Congo. SW Uganda itself is mountainous with spectacular views across Lakes and Valleys, National Parks & Hot Springs. Colourful Markets and welcoming Villagers all add to the enjoyment of the area.

Accommodation at Uganda Lodge is in self-contained Bandas or in rooms adjoining the main house, and prices are around $10 per night. Local food is always available in the restaurant and special dishes can be ordered. The camping site is a short distance away from the main house and has a toilet/washing block plus a barbecue area of its own. There is a bar serving cold beers, sodas and snacks and a hall with DSTV for sports/movies. Regular disco/dance nights are held for tourists & locals alike.

Hill-climbing and visits to local farms, plantations and schools can be organised, as can 4x4 safaris to more distant areas. Fishing can also be arranged. Tourists spending a couple of days at Uganda Lodge will have many opportunities to meet and briefly share in the life of local villagers - well away from the bustle of the usual tourist hot-spots.

The founder & MD of Uganda Lodge - Denis Kasiba Aheirwe - is from a local well-respected farming family. He has started this venture with a view to helping disadvantaged youngsters and local families providing care for orphans from his village and the project is now providing training & jobs for a number of local people. .
