Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge.
The Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge, which used to be called the Bwindi Jungle Lodge, is a lovely little gem hidden away in the southwest of Uganda, in the district of Kisoro. It is perfectly placed near both the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, from which tourists from all over the world can go gorilla trekking in Uganda.
The lodge is conveniently placed for tourists who want to go gorilla climbing or stay with gorillas in the Rushaga gorilla area of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
The Lodge is a great choice for travelers who want peace and quiet because it is an area of calm where only the sound of crickets can be heard.
There are 12 cabins at the Lodge. They are divided into groups of four: Double, Twin, Single, Triple, and Family. At the Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge, each house is named after a different Mgahinga monkey National Park monkey.
Each house has its own bathroom, is cozy and roomy, and has a porch with a view of Lake Mulehe. Each house is set in a wild area that hasn’t been touched by humans. From its windows, you can see and hear the waves crashing on the lodge’s private beach. Each house is set apart to give you solitude.
Each house has its own bathroom with a shower, a toilet that flashes, blankets and slippers, a reading table, and a rack for your bags.
