Engagi Lodge in Bwindi is a modern lodge in a breathtaking setting offering stunning views over the forest canopy. The lodge is situated in a large tract of land contiguous to the Bwindi Impenetrable forest, and runs from the main road to the park headquarters down to Munyaga River.
Engagi Lodge was built using local materials and a local workforce. It is constructed from rocks found in and around the site and eucalyptus trees. The rooms are thatched from banana fibre sourced from local farmers. These all make the lodge environmentally friendly.
The lodge consists of just 8 en-suite cottages, spaced out and hidden in the foliage. Each cottage has either double or twin beds, a bathroom with flushing toilets and hot and cold running water. All have private verandahs where guests can enjoy their morning tea or coffee as they watch over the forest canopy.
Electricity is provided by solar power with a back-up generator, so hot water is supplied by eco-friendly wood burning boilers.
Facilities at Engagi Lodge, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
The main lodge building is divided into a bar sitting room, the dining room and a large outdoor verandah viewing platform. The lodge building is big enough to cater for larger groups but still allows for smaller individual groups to spread out in the various different areas for privacy.
The lodge is open ended at the front allowing a dramatic view of the Bwindi forest from every corner inside the building.
The kitchen, built away from the lodge to ensure privacy, prepares a variety of 3 course meals and clients’ requirements. These are all catered for by our team of experienced and trained chefs.
The main reception area has been built up near the Buhoma road and we have a large secure car parking area. Both of these are at a good distance away from the main lodge buildings.
Clients can walk around the lodge down to the river, viewing the birdlife and flora of the area.
