Guiding at Kibale

Volcanoes Safaris has launched a new guide training program at Kibale Lodge. Every quarter three young local youth are recruited to join the nature and guiding team, led by Volcanoes’ guide Saidi Kakuru, and begin their training on wildlife and conservation on the 150 acres of rejuvenating land surrounding Kibale Lodge.

Since May 2024 over 100 bird, mammal and primate species have been recorded by our trainees at the Kibale site.

Guests at Kibale Lodge can participate in a 2-hour guided birding walk around Lake Lugembe.

A donation of $1000 supports 3 trainees guides to join this program for 3 months.

A donation of $2500 will provide binoculars, guide books and a camera to a group of 3 trainees.
