Mihingo Lodge

$$$ | Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda Fodor's Choice

High up on a kopje (rocky outcrop), the cottages at this superb boutique lodge blend seamlessly into the landscape. Early morning thrills come in the form of zebras congregating at the salt lick below the lodge’s rocky ledge pool. Guests in Kings cottage have spotted leopards on the adjacent rock; Klipspringer cottage has its own waterhole; and Tree cottage (as the name suggests) is built around a tree that grows through the hardwood platform. Mihingo’s eco-creds go further than design: the lodge is carbon neutral and has pioneered a community compensation scheme to help conserve leopard and hyena. If the delectable food isn’t enough to seduce you, the lodge offers plenty of romantic nooks: the sundeck below the rainwater infinity pool; the tower with near 360-degree views; and secret sundowner spots out on the rock. In addition to biking or walking safaris, Mihingo offers horseback safaris, night games drives, a tennis court, and massages. Bushcraft courses and nightly feeding of wild bushbabies on a viewing platform below the bar ensure kids love it.

  • Delicious buffet meals from 100% organic garden

Quick Facts

Rwakobo Rock

$$ | Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda Fodor's Choice

A gem of a budget eco-lodge, Rwakobo Rock is deservedly popular with the adventure crowd. Hearty, home-cooked fare is served up under the open thatch of their main building on the side of the eponymous rock. Simply furnished thatched cottages, a family house, en suite rooms and cottages are tucked away in hidden corners, their interiors decorated in the black and white colors of the local Hima tribe. Recycled bottles of filtered water harvested via rainwater catchment speak to the family owner's environmental stance. A fire-pit smoulders, and hammocks dot the property, encouraging a chilled-out vibe that's hard to ignore. When not exploring Lake Mburo National Park, you can hire a mountain bike (and guide) for a two-wheel safari. The view from the top is awesome.

Pros

  • Relaxed, informal style offering great value
  • Climbers will love bouldering on the rock
  • Pay no park fees by taking a walking safari outside the park

Cons

  • Poorly lit paths to the rooms
  • Watch your step—occasionally herds of cattle come through the lodge, with slippery consequences
  • Small swimming pool
