Jacana Safari Lodge
Jacana Safari Lodge is positioned on the edge of Lake Nyamusingire.
10 independent luxury chalets and a family cottage are curtained by the embrace of the dense foliage of Maramagambo Forest. These en suite rooms have enclosed verandas with large panoramic windows offering perfect views of the lake. The delicate use of rock, poles, wood, rope, organic furniture and rich textures combine well with the tropical hardwood forest. The Virunga lounge is a cosy and comfortable open plan area with a big stone fireplace. Large sofas, Persian carpets and a mixture of soft pastel shades merge with rope lashing and rock shapes. The lower deck together with the sundowner bar extends over the edge of the lake and leads to the jetty and the Captain’s Table, a floating pontoon which can be hired for either sundowners or any meal of the day, or just simply to explore the lake. Located next to the lake are a sauna and massage area, and a swimming pool which affords views of splendid sunsets. |

Boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel present a different angle from which to encounter a broad variety of wildlife amongst which are hippos, crocodiles, elephants and abundant birdlife.
Another water adventure is kayaking on Lake Nyamusingire. Picnic baskets are provided for guests choosing a day’s outing.
Experienced Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger/guides extend game viewing into the Ishasha sector of the southern part of the park where the famous tree-climbing lions comfortably relax in the branches of their favourite tree to escape from the hot African sun. Buffalo, elephant, warthogs, leopard, lion, antelope and a host of other wildlife can also be sighted during these daily excursions.
Forest walks are one of the best ways to explore the nooks and crannies, riverines, valleys and hills surrounding Jacana Safari Lodge where the superb bird and butterfly population provides ideal photographic opportunities.
