Chimp track: just get up early and head out to track those loud, elusive animals hiding in the gorge. Keep in mind their numbers are going down, so they’re getting more vulnerable and harder to spot.
Coffee tour: Join us for a local coffee tour where you can visit farms during harvest time, learn the process from bean to cup, and even make your own brew to enjoy. The experience wraps up with a tasty local dish
Farming and Community gathering: We’ve built this place to bring people together :visitors, neighbors, and locals alike. Our village has so much to share. Thanks to the rich, fertile land, we grow coffee, vanilla, cocoa, and all kinds of fresh produce that end up right on your plate. We love taking you around the farms, showing you how local food is grown, cooked, and even how to brew traditional drinks along the way
Gorge Walk: We’re right on the edge of the gorge, so from the house you can walk down and check out the power of the Kyambura River and all the amazing plants and trees along the way. The trail takes you to a beautiful lookout over Queen Elizabeth National Park , it’s a one-of-a-kind spot with stunning views and a super impressive landscape
Honey Farming: While exploring the area, we came across the edge of the park where some local farmers keep their beehives. A small branch of the Kyambura River runs through the spot, and the hives are set up right out in the wild. The biodiversity there is amazing, and it’s no surprise the bees make some seriously delicious honey.
QENP Game drive: The beauty of this park is the freely roaming animals. Along the way to the park, you can spot elephants, hippos, and sometimes even hyenas. Wildlife and local communities’ live side by side in the surrounding area.
Salt Lake discovery: Learn about the history of the local salt industry and how salt forms naturally in the crater lakes. You’ll also see how nearby communities, living right inside the park, harvest and process it. Walk through the village and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of flamingos hanging out with cattle, grazing on the salty grass. Fun fact — the meat from this area is especially tasty because the animals feed on that unique, mineral-rich grass.
Transparent lake, swimming and Kayaking: This area is full of amazing spots to enjoy beautiful crater lakes and stunning scenery. One of them stands out because of the high-quality water, making it perfect for a refreshing swim. You can get there by walking or biking, and it’s also a great spot for picnics.
