Experience the fascinating Batwa culture
A luxury adventure lodge ideal for hikers and walkers
This remote cultural sanctuary is right in the foothills of the Virunga volcanoes. Owned by the respected Volcano Safaris, this lodge makes for a convenient base from where people can get to know this remote and very beautiful corner of Uganda.
There are six very comfortable, en-suite stone bandas with papyrus thatch roofs. Each has a private veranda. The main lodge has a welcoming fireplace and a warm, relaxed ambience. A complementary massage is included in the rates.
This is the place to visit for those who want the most authentic Batwa experiences – these include the Batwa settlement walk, the Batwa heritage experience and visiting the Batwa vocational school, as well as Batwa music and dancing performances. Trekking and hiking enthusiasts will be in their element here: the lodge provides excellent access to the volcanoes of Mount Gahinga, Mount Sabyinyo and Mount Muhavura.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
