Mantana Lodge:  Engagi Lodge

The Kimbla-Mantana  owns  this lodge that  has been newly constructed in Bwindi environs .  The lodge is situated in a large tract of land contiguous with the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and runs from the main Buhoma road down to the Munyaga River.   The lodge has been built using a local workforce and local materials.  All of the staff have been employed from the surrounding areas, and have been trained on site.

The Main Lodge building is divided into 3 sections: a “rock” bar, the restaurant, and a large wooden verandah with a separate outdoor viewing platform.  The lodge building is large enough to cater for sizeable groups needing banqueting tables, but still allows smaller individual groups to spread out in the various different areas for privacy. The lodge is open ended at the front, allowing a dramatic view of the Bwindi National Park forest from every corner inside the building.

The main lodge is built entirely from rocks found in and around the site and eucalyptus trees, while the roof has been thatched using banana  fiber sourced from local farmers.
The lodge consists of just 8 en-suite cottages, evenly spaced out and hidden in the foliage.  Each cottage has either double or twin beds (complete with hot water bottles), a bathroom with flushing toilets, hot and cold running water.  All have private verandas where guests can enjoy their morning tea or coffee as they watch out over the forest canopy. Electricity is supplied by solar power, with a backup generator. Hot water is supplied by wood burning boilers, however we intend to install solar powered heaters in the future with the wood burners as backup
