From Uganda Lodge, our Director Denis Aheirwe runs 3 or 4 day safaris to Queen Elizabeth National Park and his visitors spend two or three nights at the Eco Lodges as described below, in addition to going on many game drives plus a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel.
If you have your own vehicle you can book to stay at the either Lodges and we can organise a Uganda Wildlife Guide to join you for a game drive. You need a 24 hour park permit to go on game drives and boat trips, but they are not necessary while you stay at our accommodation, provided you do not cross the borders into the National Park
If you do not have transport, it is possible to pre-organise a low-budget safari by taking a bus direct from Kampala down to Ruhanga (45 minutes after Mbarara) and it will drop you at the gates of Uganda Lodge. From there you can start a safari next morning and when you finish you can either be dropped off in Ishaka to get a bus back to Kampala, or return to Uganda Lodge for extra nights exploring the area, volunteering at our school, or perhaps join a further safari or gorilla trek.
