Our Exciting Journey
" Base Camp is more than a lodge—it’s a movement to make tourism inclusive, responsible, and a driver of real impact in local communities across Africa. "
It all began with three curious children from a nearby village who dared to wander into the park and came away with a dream. That dream grew into a movement to harness tourism as a force for good— empowering their community while sharing Uganda’s wild beauty with the world. Inspired by this vision, Base Camp was created to combine quality affordable rooms with the ultimate adventure tours. Here, travelers and locals alike can experience immersive journeys rooted in nature, culture, and a shared commitment to making tourism truly meaningful.

Whether it’s providing a home for wildlife, or contributing to the fight against climate change, your tree will be a gift to the planet. So, as you explore Uganda’s stunning wilderness, know that your stay is making a real difference—one tree at a time.
