The lodge’s location, adjacent to Mgahinga National Park but outside its boundaries, offers a strategic vantage point for wildlife enthusiasts. While the park’s protected boundaries ensure a haven for the region’s flora and fauna, the lodge’s positioning offers a less restrained experience of the wild, making it ideal for those seeking both adventure and comfort. However, those desiring an ultra-luxurious stay might find it a tad rustic.
The Batwa, a community historically associated with the forests of Mgahinga, faced displacement with the establishment of national parks. However, initiatives like The Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust have stepped in to offer support. They’ve allocated land for the Batwa, fostering farming skills and helping them achieve financial independence. This dedication to preserving the Batwa heritage reflects the Lodge’s commitment to community upliftment and conservation.
