On arrival at Mihingo Lodge, you will be treated to perhaps the best optical serving; a stunning view of the Park with an infinity pool only a few meters away overlooking the all-season water hole where wildlife come to drink. At the pool area is the place to be in the afternoons sipping off your favorite house wine, a cold Nile Special beer, or even a cup of coffee or tea whilst taking the amazing views with the hope of catching the brilliantly colored African sunset.
Mihingo Lodge has 12 luxury, tented rooms designed to provide guests with privacy and tranquillity. Each room has its own unique charm and character, whether it is nestled in the forest, overlooking the lake, perched on a rocky outcrop, or down by the water hole. Although no two rooms are the same, Suni and Ralph (the owners) have ensured they all share stunning views and provide guests with a light and airy sanctuary and a feeling of being alone in the bush.
Each spacious canvas tent is equipped with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, showers, and flush loos. The rooms have been sensitively designed to complement the local environment with great attention to detail. The doorways are framed by stunning pieces of dead olive wood found on the land.
Getting there: The drive to Mihingo Lodge from Entebbe/Kampala is only ±04-hours with a great section of the drive being on properly paved roads. However, caution you against overspeeding as the traffic offers are waiting to do some unreceipted business with you.
