Katara Lodge

Southwestern Uganda


It's hard not to be seduced by this gorgeous place. Eight wood, thatch and canvas cottages are made for taking in the stunning savannah views and there's a saltwater pool for cooling off. The best bit: beds roll out on to a deck for sleeping under the stars. Includes vegetables from the on-site garden, rainwater harvesting and solar power.
