Engagi Lodge

Extraordinaire! Excellent service plein de petites attentions et de détails délicats, en pleine forêt, confortable sans être ostentatoire et juste à côté du centre pour les promenades en forêt tropicale, trekking pour les gorilles, etc... La nourriture est excellente et on vous gâte et choie sans être obséquieux. C'est là que je reviendrai pour mon second voyage en Ouganda.

Engagi Lodge Look no further if you are planning to trek to see the gorillas, this is the place to stay. We stayed in 5 different lodges whilst on Safari and this had the most attentive toned staff of all the lodges. Each cabin had a nice private deck with comfortable seating, The rooms were a great size with well placed mosquito nets that were easy to enter/exit for those nighttime bathroom breaks. Bathroom large and modern with loads of hot water for showering. Each cabin and a staff assigned to it to attend to ANY needs you may have. Micah even cleaned our boots for us after the hike and they looked better than when first out of the box at store! The staff in the main lodge who service dinner and attended to our needs were exceptionally well trained, polite and interesting people to meet. The food was absolutely delicious, service was fast and all dietary needs could be met with ease. Online pictures do not portray how beautiful this lodge is. the main lodge room has good internet, nice chimneys with coals on the deck so you can sit and enjoy the damp weather that comes with the rain forest. The Gorilla Trek centre is just a few minutes by car from here and the hiking sites are close. Bucket list experience had by all! We also visited Ride 4 a Woman when there. Go see this awesome local NGO’s work to support local women to live safely and earn a living when you are in the area. Worthwhile stop minutes from the lodge. Please be sure to tip the staff in the main tip box so it is shared with all of the staff in front and back of house. Your tour company can help you with what is an appropriate tip. We were booked into this lodge as part of our Safari package with Gorilla O’Clock. We would definitely recommend this lodge and this safari company.

One of the best lodges we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Tanzania and Uganda. Amazing service, fantastic food, and beautiful location. We especially loved the river walk. The area by the fireplace was so lovely in the evening and a great place to catch up on emails. We appreciated the morning coffee service brought to the rooms and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. We stayed 2 nights and wish we had more time at this lovely lodge. A gem.
