Mihingo is a magical, eco safari lodge built on a private property that borders Lake Mburo National Park. It has 12 beautiful, tented rooms with a large veranda and a proper round bathroom with a gorgeous view of the wilderness. All rooms are nestled into the landscape in carefully chosen locations, far apart from one another providing a very private and yet wild safari experience. You can be naked on your veranda or in your bathroom without any of the other guests or staff being able to see you. Placed in varied settings, some rooms are situated in a forest with views of the waterhole beyond, some have a lake view, some are on a level with the animals and others on rocky outcrops. The lodge has lots of places where you can enjoy the surrounding African savannah; an open dining room with a spectacular view across the valley, a cosy bar, a tower with two levels, the bushbaby platform amongst leafy trees, a thatched massage room, as well as a swimming pool with breathtaking views over the waterhole where you can watch animals drinking as you too sip your favourite drink.

Mihingo Lodge is a beautiful place to relax with a homely atmosphere; all our staff are very friendly. We are frequently complimented for having the most delicious and healthy food in Uganda, making the most of the wonderful fresh produce that Uganda has to offer.  We pride ourselves on being very environmentally conscious as Mihingo runs exclusively on solar electricity. We have solar powered fridges and freezers, solar water pumps and solar water heating and everything else that makes an eco lodge. We support the local community by helping three of the primary schools in the area and we run a conservation project.

All the different activities inside and outside Lake Mburo National Park is part of what makes Mihingo Lodge very special. From exhilarating and varied horse rides, exciting walks with giraffes in the park and relaxed walking safaris outside the park, night game drives with a chance of seeing a leopard, various different game drives including one that takes you up to the stunning Kazuma view point, a lovely boat trip with many hippos and lots of birds, relaxing massages, a walk to the hide near our waterhole and the chance to watch bush babies in the evening from the platform below the bar. We have many activities to help you relax or to keep you active. We have a tennis court, and jogging surrounded by animals outside the park is also possible with one of our guides. We were the first lodge in Uganda to start mountain bikes safaris both inside and outside the park. We also organize cultural visits starting at Mihingo, combining a walking safari to one of the nearby farms, with an authentic cultural experience. A bush breakfast is a wonderful way to experience nature especially after an early morning walk. We support 3 schools and a school visit is a great way for guests to meet the children and experience rural life in Uganda. Children’s bush courses are a fun way for kids to explore the African bush and learn new skills. With so much to do and see we recommend guests to stay for at least a couple of nights to really enjoy everything Mihingo lodge has to offer. Nearly every one of our guests who only stay for one night regrets not having stayed longer. For this reason, most tour companies’ now book Mihingo for two or three nights. If you are flying back with one of the later flights, there is no need to spend another night in Entebbe as it is much better to stay a day longer at Mihingo, enjoy a relaxing morning and leave after lunch. Most of our guests love Mihingo Lodge and many guests who live in Uganda return to stay with us many times.
