The Management and Staff warmly welcome you to
our lodge. We are committed to making your stay as
comfortable as possible, providing you with a ‘home
away from home’.
Cassia Lodge started very much as an idealist’s dream.
Convinced that Africa needs more than aid to lift it out
of poverty, the owners decided to invest all their
savings in this small lodge, thus creating employment
opportunities, markets, and taxes that pay for social
services. It is their small contribution to the
development of Uganda, which has had more than its
share of conflict and political upheaval, in the hope
that their example will inspire others.
At Cassia, one gets a feel of what the young journalist
and future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
meant when he described Uganda in his 1908 book
‘My African Journey’: « For magnificence, for variety
of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life - plant,
bird, insect, reptile, beast -, for vast scale… Uganda is
truly the pearl of Africa. »
Uganda's potential as a tourism hotspot lies in its
mosaic of landscapes, from thick forests to snow-
capped mountain ranges and vast plains studded
with crater lakes, and its array of adventurous activities.
There are opportunities for climbing and trekking;
watersports such as sailing, fishing, canoeing and
whitewater rafting on Lake Victoria and the river Nile;
and plenty of wildlife watching options from tracking
mountain gorillas on foot through the jungle to more
traditional 'big five' safaris on the plains.
At our lodge, you can relax at the swimming pool,
access Internet at the business centre, organise
workshops or meetings at our conference centre
and enjoy our fine continental and Ugandan dishes
at the restaurant. Although our menu is quite extensive,
should you have a special wish, our Chef will be
delighted to be at your service.
Enjoy the Pearl of Africa!
