There’s plenty to do and see at the camp. Here’s a taste of what you can get up to during your stay:
Self-guided Walk – explore around the camps 22 acres enjoying the camps herds of domestic animals, bird, wild and plant life as you go. You can wander through the lakeside forest, across the open grassland and up to the stunning viewpoint at the top of the hill.
Birding – With five different habitats, bushland, open grassland, forest, papyrus and open water, the camp is home to a huge variety of birdlife. The resident populations are boosted in Sept-May with migrants, a great time to visit and bird. See if you can add any new species to the camps bird list! You never quite know who will pass through, we’ve had a flock of flamingos fly over before and camera traps have caught the elusive finfoot on the lakeshore.
Learn about the local culture – learn about smoking milk pots, herbal medicine and get to know our pair of Ankole cows through concious interactions. Try your hand making the traditional nkoni (walking stick) or braid a rope from sisal plants. An evening setting the cow dung fire for the cows is one of our firm favourites.
Be still – one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself at the camp is to find a spot and be still, keeping your senses open to all life around you. We find the stiller we become, the more we see.
If you would like to visit Lake Mburo National Park during your stay the Kanyashara gate is about 25 minutes from the car (road conditions dependent).
The camps Nissan Patrol is available for hire for a game drive at $50 for half day, $70 for full day.
