Best eco-lodges in Uganda:
The peace and quiet of the lodge is only interrupted by the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature. The melody of bird songs, monkey calls an elephant trumpeting to create an orchestra of sounds to wake up to and the atmosphere throughout the day make it a perfect place to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature.
Welcome to AtThe River – a rustic, yet tranquil lodge that offers a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Ishasha, Uganda. Located just minutes outside of Queen Elizabeth National Park, we offer uniquely built cabins, delicious home-cooked meals, a swimming pool and the perfect surroundings for spotting over 1,000 species of birds, monkeys, and baboons.
Our grounds are set over 60 acres of land and offer accommodation for every type of traveler, from the budget camper to the safari-chic glamper. Pitch a tent in our simple camp area, or leave the comforts of home for a stay in one of our stripped-back cabins or our magical family-sized treehouse that overlook the Ntungwe River. Our raised restaurant and bar offer a casual spot to relax with a cold drink while enjoying panoramic views of the Kigezi Wildlife Reserve
We have 6 en-suite cottages (two family rooms) that have greatviews of the river and the Ishasha national park on the opposite bank.The cottages are spacious and come equipped with a flushing toilet, sink, and a hot shower with a view. There are 2 large beds with mosquito nets,towels and a bottle of water.
There’s something about the outdoors that causes us to respond in ways that are true to ourselves. Maybe it’s the natural settings that help us discover our natural personalities. Perhaps it’s the challenge of living without everyday luxuries that channels greater strength from inner pools we never knew we had. Whatever the case, adventure is good for us as individuals and as groups.
With close proximity to the national park, a casual drive to AtThe River is quickly transformed into a game drive, giving you the opportunity to see elephant, lion, hyena, antelope, buffalo, and birds. Ishasha’s famous tree-climbing lions keep watch from the branches, with lush vegetation and breathtaking views of the Rwenzori and the Virunga Mountain ranges in the distance.
