Katara Lodge is situated 20 minutes away from Queen Elizabeth National Park, which boasts open savannahs, papyrus swamps, crater lakes, gorges and of course, a prolific variety of game. You can expect to see hippos, elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, lions, leopards and waterbucks, to mention just a few. The lodge is located on the Kichwamba escarpment, and nestles into one of the hills overlooking the plains and on a clear day so that you can see the beautiful Rwenzori Mountains in the distance. Each cottage was built using locally available materials by members of the nearby Katara village community. If you're lucky, you might be woken by the trumpeting of elephants in the morning.
For game drives and village walks, the lodge is working with the Albertine Rift Tourism for Conservation, a local organization which seeks to marry eco-tourism with the culture of the local people, by providing tour guiding services.
