True to the WildPlaces Africa ethos, Kulu Ora will be tucked away in a hidden corner of Murchison Falls National Park – an untouched wilderness few have ever laid eyes on and Uganda’s oldest and largest protected area. The lodge sits in the middle of Murchison Falls National Park in a 75,000 hectare newly designated low impact zone. The zone, shared only with Papa’s Camp (a luxury tented bush camp, also part of the WildPlaces Africa portfolio), gives guests guaranteed privacy, and exceptional wildlife encounters away from the crowds.
“We had to machete through kilometres of untamed wilderness, wade through marshes and rivers just to reach the site. On our journey we passed a pride of wild lions never seen by travellers, this was one of the most exciting things I have seen and felt on safari, knowing these cats had never been viewed before.” Jonathan Wright, C0-Founder of WildPlaces Africa recalls.
Setting a new standard for safari luxury in Uganda – Kulu Ora will combine thoughtful design, deep, cultural heritage and a profound connection to nature. Kulu Ora – meaning ‘river’ in two local languages – will offer 11 beautifully appointed ensuite canvas-walled suites with a private plunge pool alongside rare access to an unspoiled expanse of wild terrain. A library curated by WildPlaces Africa Co-Founder, Pamela Wright, will provide a mix of novels, beach reads, and Africa-focused books, while the main swimming pool is long enough for laps and surrounded by a capacious pool deck, bar and comfortable daybeds.
