Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge is located in Kisoro district in southwestern Uganda, close to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
Its location makes it ideal for visitors interested in gorilla trekking and gorilla habituation, as it is near the Rushaga sector of Bwindi where habituation is done, and also near Mgahinga. The lodge is easily accessible for travelers on Kigali to Bwindi gorilla trekking tours.
The lodge has 12 spacious cottages, including doubles, twins, and singles. Each room has en-suite facilities and a private porch overlooking Lake Mulehe. Uniquely, each cottage is named after a gorilla from Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
The family cottage has two self-contained bedrooms with a double and a single bed in each, plus an interconnecting door. It is a good option for families or groups and offers some of the best views of the lake.
Rates at Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge are charged per room, per night, and range from $190 to $400 depending on occupancy and season. Rates may change, so it is best to confirm before booking.
