KYANINGA LODGE
         Nestled on the edge of an extinct volcanic crater lake at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains
         near Fort Portal, what makes the stunning Kyaninga Lodge truly special is its heart. Since 2013,
         the owners have given all available resources to start—and maintain—Kyaninga Child
         Development Centre. The centre provides physical, occupational, speech and language
         therapy, orthopaedic services, special educational support, nutrition support and distribution of
         essential epilepsy medications to children with a wide range of physical, intellectual and
         communication disabilities in rural western Uganda. The lodge also recently helped build the
         Kyaninga Mobility Workshop, provided an inclusive school, and started a Street Business School
         arm of the centre—which gives carers the chance to become successful business women.
         Kyaninga Lodge will be offering a 15% discount from the 15th of November to the 15th of
         December 2023. Why not include a stay with them in your festive season plans and gift-giving!
