2017 saw the beginning of the construction of Hornbill Bush Lodge, after finding the perfect location close to Murchison Falls National Park and next to the famous river Nile.

A goal during construction was to create a safari-style lodge built with natural materials wherever possible. Each room has a unique balance of style with traditional architecture and locally made décor. 

Hornbill Bush Lodge is comprised of large spacious cottages with a unique balance of modern style with a traditional architectural touch. Every cottage is equipped with your own private and cosy veranda to take in the breathtaking views of the Ugandan wilderness.

The lodge offers single, twin and double beds in their cottages, but a triple bed option can also be arranged at request. All rooms are fitted with mosquito nets and en-suite toilets. The lodge prioritises the environment, and all electricity supplied and water heated comes from solar power.
