You will stay in our purpose-built lodge, overlooking the rolling hills. With a bar, pool table, and campfires each evening on the deck, the lodge will be your home away from home.
All transport in-country is included. Our team will meet and drop you off at the airport. We use vehicles to get to and from schools, as well as for Safari and weekend excursions.
Our on-site chefs work hard to make the lodge feel like home, providing breakfast and dinner on the days when you are in school. Breakfast ranges from fresh fruit and pancakes to eggs on toast, and there is always plentiful fresh local coffee! Dinner is mostly vegetarian dishes such as curries or pasta with meat meals twice a week. Let us know if you are vegetarian or vegan and the team will have it covered.
As well as excursions, there is plenty to see in the area ranging from hiking to visiting a coffee factory. Whether with morning group exercise or a sunset drink at the lodge bar, there’s a way to celebrate and reflect on each day together.
The elevation makes for a comfortable climate with temperatures averaging 27 °C / 87°F. It is the driest from May-August but rains in the afternoon cool the temperature later in the day. Situated at approximately 4000ft, the lodge can get cool in the evening.
Uganda is where we pilot and develop our training before adapting to each of the settings where we work. This means that on our Uganda Fellowships you will be pioneering any new developments in our program.
