Overview
UGANDA LODGE is a brand new Guest House, Camping Site, Bar and Restaurant located alongside the main Mbarara-Kabale Road. Its a 3-4 hour drive by car from Kampala and by request buses will stop right outside the gates.
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. 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 from his village and the project is now providing training & jobs for several families.

Amenities & services
Typical Ugandan Lodge plus some individual self-contained bandas. Especially suitable for travellers wanting to experience life in the Ugandan countryside.
Staff are as helpful as their current experience of western visitors allows; they try their best to please and provide as many facilities as they can. This is a new project, and aimed entirely at helping improve the life of some of the poorest people in Africa.
Please stay awhile and even if you arrive as a stranger you will soon become friends, and leave as family.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
