Have you ever pictured yourself staying in the sky? Then try out the remarkable Aramaga Rift Valley Lodge in western Uganda. This astounding Lodge opened its doors in 2020 and sits about 10 kilometers west of Fort Portal Town and over 40 kilometers from Kibale Forest National Park hence making it an amazing place to stay while exploring Kibale Forest National Park (through chimpanzee tracking, forest birding, and forest walks) or the mysterious Amabere ga Nyina Mwiru Caves (breast-like stalactites and stalagmites with a unique cultural significance).
The Luxurious Aramaga Rift Valley Lodge boasts one of the most undisputable views that include the fabulous Blue Mountains of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the snow-capped Mountains of the Moon (Rwenzori Mountains), the beautiful Lake Albert and Semliki Wildlife Reserve.

The Lodge sits on the ridge of the Great Rift Valley and guests’ accommodation is in space-themed pods with 120-degree panorama windows that offer special 80-kilometer views of surrounding areas. The Lodge was constructed while maintaining a low carbon footprint hence most of the raw materials were locally sourced and about 80% of its operations use renewable energy like solar power for lighting and heating.
