Heritage Safari Lodge

Heritage Safari Lodge is 370 kilometers from Uganda's capital city, Kampala, 270 kilometers on the Kampala-Gulu route, and 100 kilometers on the Karuma-Arua road. The lodge is also located on the great North-South elephant corridor that brought the Luo ethnic group, missionaries, and early explorers in their quest for the source of the Nile, as well as at Wang Lee, the point where the two feuding Luo legendary brothers, Gipir and Labongo, separated to form the two tribes of the present-day Alur to the west of the Nile and the Acholi to the east, and a third brother, Kumarac, proceeded south to form the Luo Babito.

The location was carefully chosen to be within a 5-minute drive of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's largest national park, providing ample opportunity for early morning and afternoon game viewing while also allowing tourists to return for lunch and rest.

The bandas offer an unbroken view of the Albert Nile and the adjacent green meadow of rolling grassland, where you can see hippopotamus and elephant herds while enjoying a sundowner. The open-design salons are suitable for cocktails, gourmet meals, nighttime interaction, and the production of traditional dance galas.

Heritage is an eco-lodge built on wildlife conservation principles, including the preservation of elephant hot springs and mud baths, nesting spaces for hundreds of weaver birds, and natural breeding areas for butterflies and reptiles.

Manicured lawns mix seamlessly with the natural Savannah grassland that supports the whistling acacia trees. Guests are urged to contribute to conservation by planting a traveler's tree.

The panoramic view of the Nile is a natural gift for your delight.

A taste of heritage, safari, and riverbank adventure begins in the garden with an early morning bush breakfast if you wish to eat it there. The native birds will keep you delighted while you enjoy the morning dawn and the cool, invigorating wind of the Nile.
