An explanation

The Bwindi Jungle Lodge is situated on the lake Mulehe in the Mucha region, roughly 10 kilometers from Kisoro town along the Rubuguri road. The distance between Rushaga and Nkuringo and the southern gate of Bwindi National Park is roughly 20 km. The lodge is a few kilometers away distant from Kisoro Airstrip, which serves as the landing area for domestic aircraft from Entebbe Airport that connect to the Southern portion of Bwindi National Park.

This is a stunning spot that is perfect for tourism activities in Mgahinga National Park and Bwindi National Park (Southern sector). With a natural bay on the lake’s shores and a natural birdwatching habitat, the resort, which is tucked away in a forest, enjoys the tranquility of the lake. The bungalows at Bwindi Jungle Lodge are constructed from native volcanic stones and wood, and each one has an elevated porch with a view of Lake Mulehe.

Visit to Echuya Forest by Batwa

The Batwa are the original residents of the Echuya Forest Reserve. They were evicted from the forest and are now responsible for protecting it. They will give you an overview of their way of life, including how they hunt, harvest, and live. Additionally, you can enjoy a stunning view of Lake Bunyonyi and the surrounding landscapes.

There are also great picnic spots in this woodland. This exercise can take four to five hours, and it begins at 9:00 a.m. Mountain gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable may need one to five hours of climbing and trekking up the tranquil hills. In contrast to gorilla habituation clients, who spend more time searching for the gorillas and then spending four hours in the wild with them to observe their behavior, tracking participants spend an hour with the gorillas after they first meet them. This is because the alpha male (silver back) takes charge of the family while the young play with the mothers. On Lake Mulehe, villages stroll.You will connect with a family of farmers here as they demonstrate how to construct bee hives and how crops like matooke, in this region, rice, beans, and bananas are grown. You can also see the meal being prepared from the house, and the leader of the household will share stories about traditional music, dances, and Bafumbira culture. Following the encounter, you continue walking up the hills, passing more gardens, some plants, fruits, and vegetables as you make your way to Muhanga hamlet. There, you can speak with the students at Muhanga Primary and Secondary Government School. It’s roughly a 2-kilometer stroll. To return to the lodge, slope to the dock where the canoe is waiting.
