About Uganda Eco Lodge Safari

Uganda Eco Tours features a selection of some of the accommodation facilities in Uganda that meet the criteria to be regarded as ecologies basing on the ecotourism principles and guidelines.

We invite you to both experiment the beautifulness of our eco-lodge located on the edges of Bwindi National Park and our tailor made safaris for once-in-a-lifetime experience in The Pearl of Africa. There are two main rainy seasons of March to May as the heavy rains and September to November as light rains with intervals of some dry spells. June to August is the main dry season and December to February is the short dry period with little rain. The average temperature is 18°C during the day and falls to about 10°C at night. From the 2300m of Ruhija, you have a 360° panoramic view over an outstanding landscape composed by the Bwindi Impenetrable forest, the green and colourful hills, and the long chain of Volcanoes of Uganda, Rwanda and Republic Democratic of Congo (Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Volcanoes National Park Rwanda, Virunga National Park). Our eco-lodge is the only with a 180°C panoramic view over the primary forest and the range of volcanoes. When you reach there, you'll be welcomed by a wonderful team fully available to make your stay an unforgettable experience and to make you feel at home. We welcome visitors every day, especially the ones who come for gorilla tracking but not only. People do generally a one stop visit to meet the gorillas and leave without taking the time to enjoy, rest and visit the region.

Planning to travel Uganda

From Kampala we will depart for Queen Elizabeth National Park. On our way we will pass the Ugandan equator where you can take pictures and shop for a souvenir. After lunch in Mbarara we continue to the southwest and head for the Western Rift Valley. Upon arrival in the park you might spot the first wildlife, like waterbucks and warthogs, before arriving at your accommodation in the middle of the park. Dinner and overnight at Simba Safari Camp. For upgrade you can stay at Mweya Safari Lodge or Jacana Safari Lodge.

The day begins early as we go for a morning game drive and head for the mating ground of the Uganda Kobs. We search for lions, elephants, buffaloes and other wild animals in their natural habitat, before returning for lunch. In the afternoon we take on a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a natural link between Lake Edward and Lake George. Thanks to the abundant birdlife that is sighted and the hundreds of hippos that are cooling off at the shores, this cruise will definitely be one of the highlights of your safari. Dinner and overnight at Simba Safari Camp. For upgrade you can stay at Mweya Safari Lodge or Jacana Safari Lodge.

After breakfast we will take you for a walk through the Maramagambo Forest, known for the Blue Lake and the Bat and Hunters Cave. You will get the chance to have a close look at the bats and maybe even the rock python and forest cobras that feed on the bats. The same walk will provide you with views of different bird species, primates and trees.

After this activity we will leave Queen Elizabeth National Park and drive to Fort Portal, situated at the foot of the Mountains of the Moon. From here we continue to the dense forest of Kibale National Park. Dinner and overnight at the cottages of Primate Lodge Kibale. For upgrade you can stay at the luxury tents of Primate Lodge Kibale.

Early in the morning visit to Kibale Forest National Park, reputable of having the greatest variety and highest concentration of primates in East Africa. Enjoy a guided nature walk in the tropical rainforest in search of the wild chimpanzees, red-tailed monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys and many others. After lunch we will go for the Bigodi Swamp Walk, an initiative of the local community. The swamp is known for its rich diversity of birds and primates. Dinner and overnight at the cottages of Primate Lodge Kibale. For upgrade you can stay at the luxury tents of Primate Lodge Kibale.

My husband and I decided to take a last minute trip to Kenya for a safari in August 2020. The year has notbeen great for us and then with COVID hitting we needed something to lift our spirits.
