Lodges in Kasese

The peaceful exceptional views were worth the climb up the many steps. The engagement with the community was extensive and valued by all.

As a tour operator, I booked this place for my clients. The place was super nice and the communication was very effective. We reached a little late and found Eunice and other two staff waiting for us. This was super amazing. We spent three nights at the property. Every night Hippos came in the compound to feed on every night. Hippos come with their young ones. I saw a whole family of hippos. 😜Mama, Papa and baby hippo. They come twice a nice at night Between 20:00hrs - 21:30 and then come back between 2:30 - 4:00 The place is very close to Kazinga channel boats and few km to Kasenyi gate in Queen Elizabeth national park. Since am a Birder, I could always start my birding while in the compound. I took enough Pictures of birds. The birds you are likely to see are;; Red necked spurfowl, laughing dove, mourning dove, snowy crowned Robin chat, white browed robin chat, black lores babblers, pied crow, marabou stork, village weavers, black headed Gonolek, Dideric cuckoo, ....... Then as you join the main road, there's a bush where you can see variety of birds.

This place is incredible!! Worth re-organising your whole trip just to come here. Spectacular scenery, Alexander was a fantastic and knowledgeable host. We enjoyed hiking through the Rwenzori mountains with him. Ferdnant is the best chef in Uganda, delicious food and a fun cooking class. Can't wait to come back. Just book it!

This is a magical place! You are staying in the heart of the national park - elephants, hippos and plenty of birds at your doorstep! Sunset and dawn will give the place a magical touch! This is a truly astonishing place. Staying here is an adventure & you support the local community which is living in the national park. This is a very important contribution to nature conservation - it is so important that the local communities benefit from national parks & not only the owners of the high end (and high price) lodges. But be prepared to be very close to nature - if you panic when hippos & elephants walk through the camp this might not be the right place for you. Otherwise it is totally worth every dollar, euro or ugx. The huts are super comfortable, clean and well maintained. Of course it is not a super luxury place - but honestly who needs that if nature provides all that beauty. You can get to the camp with bodas or you can get picked up by a driver (around 80k). The drive to the camp is a mini safari on its own. Tip: We made the mistake to book a safari in advance from an company in fort Portal - rather arrange something with the locals - our neighbours did a boot trip on the lake with a local fisherman & they loved it! You can cook your own meals if you are traveling on budget & know how to cook on fire :) Thanks for this experience!

It was wonderful to sit outside on our patio area and watch the elephants that came in the late afternoon.

This is a wonderful project by and for the community of Kikorongo, and it is an inspiring experience to see how its tireless staff face every challenge without losing their smiles: No water or electricity mains and yet they have a beautiful garden and comfy rooms and tents; limited ingredients but tasty dishes every day... I have sung with them, danced with them, walked with them, and thoroughly enjoyed the company and the lessons of one of kindest people I have met in my many travels. Thank you so much Jason, Dennis, Kutafi, Felex, Lillian and Karen. In my heart forever!
