Safaris

We offer fully inclusive packages with game activities; by 4x4 safari land cruisers with a guide, or on the river boats. Ideal for those wishing to fly in.

Wildlife Highlights

There are few other places in East Africa where you can view this variety of animals and birds so close up from a boat. Elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, shoebill stork and skimmers to name a few. Traditional game drives are also possible to see giraffe, lions, leopard, antelopes and other game. Chimpanzee trekking is possible at Budongo Forest, approximately 1.5 hours drive away. Hippos can be heard and seen grazing in the lodge grounds at night (don't worry guests are escorted)!

• Solar lighting and solar water heating
• Mosquito nets
• Solar fans
• Bespoke wooden furniture and locally crafted accessories
• Open plan en-suite bathroom
