Planning a Post-wedding Getaway? Aramaga Rift Valley Lodge is Calling!

Your honeymoon should be a trip of a lifetime, it should set the tone for all the countless adventures you’ll have as a couple. Of course the closest thing to a ‘trip of a lifetime’ is a holiday at a sandy beach far away from Uganda. But, that’s not very true. There are lots of gems here in Uganda you can explore at a fraction of the budget. Today we shine a spotlight onto Aramaga Rift Valley Lodge.  

Located just 10 km (6.2 miles) west of Fort Portal, This extraordinary lodge overlooks Africa’s spectacular Great Rift Valley and the popular Semuliki Wildlife Reserve. To the north of the lodge, you can see all the way to the Congo’s Blue Mountains and even the outline of Lake Albert and with close proximity to Kibale National Park and Chimp Tracking.

According to their website, the lodge was designed by a Ugandan architect with a deep passion for sustainability. Together with an American business partner, they created a place where they could provide guests with a highly exclusive, African experience and environmentally conscious hospitality.

From solar energy to green roof technology, every aspect of the lodge was carefully constructed to protect the environment and harmonize with the natural landscape. The lodge is located on an escarpment overlooking the Great Rift Valley, which is considered one of the most spectacular regions on the African continent. Each guest pod has 180°, floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the soaring Rwenzori Mountains, Semliki Wildlife Reserve and the Great Rift Valley floor.

The lodge is a lovely area to relax on your own or mingle with others. You will find comfortable spaces to relax, enjoy an evening fireplace chat on cold evenings, uncover tiny details of the Milky Way on our telescope or socialize with other guests as you enjoy your favorite drinks and food.

Each of the six space themed pods (Moonshot, Starship, Galactic, Orbit, Supernova and Gravity) was designed to take advantage of the breathtaking views and the natural curves of the landscape to create exclusive and highly-personal experiences with a relaxed approach to luxury.

Every one of the pods offer the space to fully unwind, enjoy stunning views from the comfort of your bed, seat or private roof top tub. The pods reimagine luxury in small spaces as could be in a space shuttle with a reasonably sized bed, sitting area, green roofs with roof top cold/hot tub “Jacuzzi” experience that gives you the whole sky and spectacular valley and mountain views.

Still about luxury and exclusivity, Aramaga Rift Valley Lodge can only accommodate 14 guests per night. Each night costs $300 inclusive of breakfast, lunch, inner and bed.
