Activities and Attractions at Mihingo Lodge

Since you’re already here, you have to try one of the lodge’s signatures: the exhilarating horseback safaris. They have so many different trail options, and there is nothing quite like quietly riding right alongside herds of zebras and impalas without the sound of an engine.

If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, you can head out on an exciting walking safari to track wildlife with a guide, or even take a game drive that includes a short, beautiful hike up to a stunning panoramic viewing point. And if you feel like a workout, you can even head just outside the park boundaries for a guided jogging session or a mountain bike tour through the hills.

When you want a change of pace, you can head down to the lake for a lovely boat trip, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by hundreds of splashing hippos and an incredible array of vibrant water birds. For a beautiful cultural exchange, you can also take a walk to visit a traditional Bahima home, giving you a rare and wonderful insight into rural life and the fascinating cattle-herding traditions of the local community.

The adventure definitely doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. In the evening, you can head down to the special wildlife hide right near the waterhole to see who comes down for a drink, or walk down to the platform just below the bar for a chance to watch the adorable, wide-eyed bush babies leap through the branches. You can also head out into the darkness on a night game drive, which is your absolute best shot at spotting secretive nocturnal animals like leopards or bush pigs.

The best part about being at Mihingo is that everything is entirely on your watch. While some guests have an incredibly active time trying to fit in all eighteen activities, others check in for a week and choose to just enjoy the lodge and its immediate surroundings without ever leaving. If that sounds like your vibe today, you can easily just book a relaxing massage, lounge by the infinity pool, and watch the animals come down to the salt lick from the comfort of your own private veranda.
