This place made me really happy. I am not overly experienced with African travel, or safari travel, so I took exquisite delight in everything. For instance, Lake Mburo was my first time seeing a wild zebra. I went kinda crazy when I first saw them, only to find that they are the most common thing in the world, or, I... More

This place is really perfect in every way - we had a very warm welcome from the young manager, Idi, who took great care of us the entire stay. Food was delicious at every meal, the safari we did was great fun (and exceptionally well guided, again by Idi) and the staff were constantly friendly and helpful. We had the... More

We enjoyed a fabulous location, great facility and probably the best tent/cabins I've experienced in Uganda. The welcome by Richard and Clemmie set up a great couple of days. Staff and service friendly and first class. As the web-site says - there are lots of steps - I suspect UK health and safety advisers would be highly stressed, which we... More

We visited this lodge for two nights on our honeymoon almost 2 years ago and i have been meaning to write a review for ages. What a place, we were greeted on arrival and had a 3 course lunch overlooking the infinity pool and watering hole. The food was delicious and the view spectacular. We had a room overlooking the...

We stayed at Mihingo for two nights as part of our first ever trip to Africa. Located on a small hill at the edge of Lake Mburo National park, the rooms are tent-"houses" but I promise you've never stayed in tents like these! The staff were very friendly and did their utmost to make our stay enjoyable, and the spectactular... More

Mihingo Lodge is constructed of stone. All the roomy,and very comfortable cottages are thus quite unique. It has a superb location overlooking a waterhole and Lake Mburo National Park. There is also a swimming pool. The staff s very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent,and I can remember dining on some excellent Ugandan lamb. The breakfasts and lunches were... More

We stayed mainly to break up the drive from Bwindi to Entebbe at the end of our safari not knowing how much Mihingo deserved at least 2 nights. We loved it so much it felt a huge shame to be leaving so quickly after arriving. The drive from Bwindi took most of the day and we really only arrived in... More

Mihingo is in a superb location on the top of a rocky hill .The views from the individual bandas are extensive and out across open bush. You are given the impression of being alone in Africa. The dining area and bar overlooks a water hole, so you don't have to bounce about for hours if you don't want to for... More

Mihingo Lodge is really nice and really different. It has a beautiful view from your room or restaurant of an active water hole that big game animals use. fodd was excellent as was hospitallity. My only caution would be the number of steps. If you don't do steps well as for a room close to the restaurant. Imagine Africa arranged... More
