Discover Tranquility at Kigambira Safari Lodge

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from Mbarara, take the Mbarara - Kampala road (A104). Continue for about 40 km until you reach the sign for Lake Mburo National Park. Turn left onto the road leading into the park. Drive straight for approximately 15 km, following the park road signs until you see the Kigambira Safari Lodge sign on your right. The lodge is located within Lake Mburo National Park, which may require a park entrance fee of approximately 20,000 UGX (about 5 USD) per person. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for the terrain, as some parts of the road may be uneven.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Kigambira Safari Lodge using public transportation, start by taking a matatu (shared taxi) from Mbarara to the town of Sanga. Matatus leave frequently from the main bus terminal and the fare is typically around 5,000 UGX (about 1.25 USD). Once you arrive in Sanga, hire a motorcycle taxi (boda boda) to take you to the entrance of Lake Mburo National Park, which costs about 10,000 UGX (about 2.50 USD). After entering the park, you can either walk or arrange for a vehicle from the lodge to pick you up, which typically requires prior coordination. Keep in mind that there is an entrance fee of approximately 20,000 UGX (about 5 USD) to access the park.

• Private Transfer

  For a more comfortable option, consider hiring a private driver from Mbarara to take you directly to Kigambira Safari Lodge. This service can be arranged through local travel agencies or your accommodation in Mbarara. The cost for a private transfer can vary, but expect to pay around 100,000 to 150,000 UGX (about 25 to 37 USD) for a one-way trip. This option allows you to enjoy scenic views along the way without the hassle of public transport.
