Kikorongo safari lodge is a luxury accommodation found at the edge of Queen Elizabeth national park. The lodge is situated in Fort portal – kasese, Mpondwe road just like 20 km south of Kasese.
In April 2018, the Thembo family set foot on the steep escarpments of Kikorongo and instantly fell in love with the vast wild greenery of the land. It was at that moment that the idea of Kikorongo Safari Lodge was birthed with a desire to provide luxury safari experiences in the wilderness”
The hike up to the rooms is an experience in itself with well maintained walkways and wild trees. The rich landscape and luscious nature joined together with birds chirping is an experience of a lifetime. All our cottages are nestled and beautifully crafted within the landscape giving each a unique view of Lake Kikorongo, Lake George, the vast landscape of Queen Elizabeth National Park and even for some cottages the world famous Kazinga Channel. Each Cottage allows for privacy and for each guest to unwind in their own intimate piece of paradise”

This is about 38 KM east of Mpondwe, the town at the international border with DR Congo 45KM in the southern part of Uganda. The Lodge sits directly at the Equator and it’s strategically located on one of the steep hills in Kasese beautifully overlooking both Lake George and Lake Edward, surrounded by Rwenzori Mountains, Rwenzori National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and the famous Kazinga channel; which attracts a varied range of animals and birds, with one of the world’s largest concentrations of hippos and numerous Nile crocodile.
Uganda is a place of extraordinary sights and unlimited adventure. The home of lofty peaks and giant fauna; of wild rivers and sweeping savannahs. It is where fantasies are set, and memories are made. Kikorongo Safari Lodge provides the enriching and rewarding safari experience that you’ve always dreamed.

Wherever possible, our food and supplies are sourced locally to ensure the surrounding communities reap the benefits of tourism on a commercial level. We purchase our coffee from estates in Karatu, dairy products from farms in Southwestern Uganda and fresh fruit and vegetables from Kasese’s central market.
We source our fish produce from Nickson, who works with his fellow fishermen on Lake George. All fish are caught according to individual quota regulations and purchases are shared between the group.
Dry goods are purchased from Kichwamba. Only 12% of our dry goods are imported, these are always items that are not grown or made in Uganda but are essential to maintain our high standards of hospitality
