Experience Africa as it was meant to be seen from Amuka Lodge, nestled in a pristine woodlands forest, in the heart of the world-renowned Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Amuka Lodge allows breathtaking encounters with Uganda’s only wild rhinoceros as well a wide array of birds and wildlife.

The comfortable accommodations afford all the luxury not expected in the African wilderness, with unfenced chalets that make the most of the bush environs. Amuka has an escapist feel of seclusion and when visitors are here, it is like nothing else exists in the world.

The main lodge, containing the restaurant, bar, walkways, and sun-deck, was almost entirely handcrafted using old, recovered mahogany beams and timber planks from an sawmill abandoned in Budongo Forest nearly 30 years ago. This gives the lodge a rustic and nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of a well-worn farmhouse.

Currently there are 10 units; four Deluxe Chalets, each with large bedroom, dressing rooms and bathroom - perfect for couples and small families. Two clustered units, each with three Standard Rooms, all with one bedroom, and bathroom. Each chalet is given the name for ‘rhino’ in one of Uganda’s forty local languages and constructed from hardwood timber and stone. All chalets are complete with large, personal verandas where visitors can lounge on safari chairs and take in the serenity of the surroundings. All chalets are tucked into the woodlands which provide complete privacy.
