The Black Lantern - Jinja, Uganda

The Nile Porch Lodge and The Black Lantern Restaurant was established as a partnership in 2004. In 2009, Bingo (South African) and Hannah (British) took sole ownership as a family business and have since completely rebuilt the lodge to a much improved level with huge help from our managers and staff, simply put, this has been a superb team effort. Improvements are on going with the construction of our own bakery, spa and an organic vegetable patch completed. Presently we are in the process of installing solar lighting in all our accommodation units which already boast solar hot water systems. We are proud of our eco friendly achievements thus far and continue to better our carbon footprint indefinitely. This is evident in the increase of fauna returning such as pangolin, porcupine,
