Mihingo Lodge

About Mihingo Lodge

Where the silence is broken only by wildlife calls and your own heartbeat.

Hunched beneath trees on a rocky kopje (koppie), Mihingo overlooks Lake Mburo National Park and its sweeping landscape covered with boulders, shrubs and trees. Natural elements predominate in the lodge's construction too – the walls are of local rocks and olive wood, and rugged tree trunks support the roofs, which are thatched in rural Ugandan style. The place is perfect for both unwinding after a safari or a longer stay, its setting is peaceful and very beautiful, the accommodation, facilities and simple but delicious food will more than fulfill your expectations.

Property details

The property

The main restaurant and bar/lounge areas are set under thatch in structures built of indigenous olive wood, rocks and terracotta-coloured clay. Local artworks hang throughout the communal spaces, and the bar area sings with bright cushions of all colours. The restaurant serves excellent buffet-style meals made using home-grown vegetables. Below, an infinity pool offers sweeping views over the park, and there's a separate seating area visited at night by the resident bushbabies.

The rooms

Footpaths, lit at night, link the communal area to 10 tented suites built on stilted wooden platforms and tucked beneath thatched roofs. All are privately located, some in a forest setting, some with a lake view and others perched on boulders. The interiors are spacious and bright, quietly elegant in style, with wooden floors, large netted beds, an en-suite shower (water is solar-heated) and separate flush toilet. In front, there's a sheltered veranda with directors' chairs.

Activities

Watch wildlife from the lodge or on guided vehicle and foot safaris. For a cost, book a horse-riding safari (experience needed), a boat trip on Lake Mburo or a mountain-bike excursion. Spend a few hours in the hide watching and photographing the animals; visit the den, a cavern even nearer the waterhole, into which you crawl for a really intimate view; or play tennis on the court. Lake Mburo's savanna, forest and swampy valleys are home to 350 bird species.

Why we love it

The lodge overlooks a waterhole that attracts wildlife of all types, a view you can enjoy from the dining room and pool.

Insiders Tip

Spend a few hours in the camouflaged hide, a 15-minute walk south of the waterhole (ask for a staff member to accompany you as you may encounter buffalo).

Something to think about

There is no wifi at the lodge and the only charging station is at the bar as well. The darkness really is solid in this part of the world, so a head torch is useful.
