The start of your African Adventure!
Set amongst the rolling hills of SW Uganda, about 40kms past Mbarara and very close the main road, Uganda Lodge Community Projects is ideally suited for both short and long term volunteers and for tourists to rest for a few days on their way south for a mountain gorilla safari, other tours or to visit Rwanda, Burundi or the Democratic Republic of Congo. Volunteers can spend time at our own Ruhanga Development School helping to advance its facilities and/or working directly with local children or at other nearby schools; our new village medical facility or in other community development work. Visitors who stay at Uganda Lodge can rest assured that all profits from this UK registered charity will be used to enhance the living conditions of villagers in the community. Here at the Uganda Lodge website you can find out more about the project and how you can get involved. For potential new volunteers and for those who have visited the lodge we provide background information about how the project has developed over the past few years, the volunteer opportunities available and details about how we can help with your travel arrangements and the tours and safaris that are available once you arrive. We believe we offer the best value volunteer experience in Uganda if not Africa itself, so why not visit us and discover the 'Pearl of Africa' for yourself? |
