The local tribes people know Mpogo as a highly cherished cow
believed to be of good fortune in the Bacwezi Kingdom. Mpogo Safari Lodge is
the pride of Kiruhura district, three hours from the Capital Kampala and 15
minutes away from Lake Mburo National Park.
The four spacious cottages with their comfortable furnishings
are tastefully decorated to bring joy to the ancestors of the area, with
spreading views of the landscape around the farm to the farthest horizons. The
guest wing consists of six rooms; 3 doubles and 3 twins overlooking the Mpogo
orchard.
The modest lodge which was
established in 2013 has a new standard of accommodation in Western Uganda
for both the tourists and their drivers or guides. When it comes to the rooms,
they are furnished with solar systems for lighting, fridges, charging and water
heaters. The restaurant offers both local and international cuisine and the bar
offers the comfort to sip a cocktail, wine, whisky or rum.
The serene lounge offers million dollar views
of the sunset over the acacia woodlands.

natural environment.The more active can enjoy cycling, village walks and
jogging, whereas birdwatching, cultural experiences, farm excursions, boat excursions on Lake Mburo and game drives can be arranged for those with an
interest for leisure and nature.
