Emburara Farm Lodge derives its name from a local tall grass called Emburara (Hyperemia ruffa) which the Ankole Cattle keepers treasured and still treasure as the best fodder for their cows as it boosts the fat content of the milk thus enabling the production of high grade cow ghee. Mbarara district, where the lodge is located, is actually believed to have picked its name from Emburara grass that used to cover the whole area.
When the first colonialists came into the area they were stunned by the beauty of this grass spanning all over the valleys and hills of Ankole looking as if it were a lawned vegetation. The colonialists asked the local people what the grass was called and they were told its Emburara. In an attempt to pronounce the word Emburara, they mispronounced it as Mbarara. This mispronounced word "Mbarara", stuck with the locals and hence the name of the current town/district Mbarara. Mbarara district therefore derived it's name from the Emburara grass. However, because of the increasing population of people and animals (cattle), Emburara grass started to face extinction. At Emburara Farm Lodge we pride of selves in making effort towards the conservation of this endangered species of flora.
Emburara Farm lodge is just 14 Kms away from Mbarara city center on Mbarara – Ibanda road adjacent to Mbarara (Nyakisharara) Air field.

Aruu Falls 47Km from Gulu
Uganda’s Aruu Falls
Uganda is a naturally
gifted country located in East Africa seated on a total area of about 241,038
square kilometers and having a number of cities but Kampala as the largest and
capital city. The beautiful nature of the country allows one to have a great safari
in Uganda as it hosts a number of mountains, forests, wildlife, waterfalls and
one of these is the Aruu falls. These are located in a forested area at about
47Km from Gulu in northern Uganda, particularly in Pader district along the
Gulu–Kitgum high way and indeed a stopover at Aruu falls will spice up your
safari in Uganda. The waters flow down the rocks spreading in different lanes
like fingers on a hand and rocks are naturally designed as steps which one can
climb up while hiking these falls but great care has to be taken during the
hiking activity so as not to fall because these rocks are slippery.
Another activity to
enjoy for your safari in Uganda at Aruu falls is birding as you can spot a
number of birds like the eastern grey plantain eater, weaver birds, Egyptian
goose, hornbills, secretary bird, African wagtail and many more that live
around water. Also, since these falls are in a forested area, chances are high
for you to encounter animals like vervet monkeys and varieties of flora. Aruu
falls also give a scenic view for photography with the green surroundings, so
you can take as many pictures and videos as possible so as to hold memories.
Another activity travelers usually enjoy is swimming in these waters but you do
this at your own risk. You will also find others bathing under the falls as
they enjoy more adventure.
While at the bottom of
the falls, you can have a picnic as you enjoy some lunch under the cold breeze
from the waters. The local community is mainly inhabited by the Acholi and Langi
people with whom you can interact and get to know more of their customs,
dances, drama and their general culture. Since they are mainly farmers, a
nature walk to their communities will expose to their farms where you can also
participate in different activities like harvesting, pruning or digging
offering a great experience for your safari in Uganda.
