Hidden within the untamed beauty of Kidepo Valley National Park lies a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility: Adere Safari Lodge. Celebrated as Uganda’s jungle paradise, Adere offers a unique blend of regal hospitality and eco-conscious design that makes it a premier destination for travelers, dignitaries, and nature enthusiasts.

Nestled amidst Kidepo’s rugged wilderness, the lodge seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape. From the moment I arrived with a royal delegation, it was evident that Adere is more than a retreat; it’s an experience. Greeted with traditional Ugandan songs and dances, our delegation was welcomed into the Adere family, a warm gesture that set the tone for an unforgettable stay.
The lodge’s cottages are masterpieces of sustainable luxury. Each suite offers panoramic views of the savannah and balances modern comforts with natural materials, creating a serene space that feels both opulent and inviting. Watching the sun dip below the horizon from my private balcony, accompanied by the calls of the wild, was an enchanting experience that captured the essence of Kidepo.
Exploring the park, renowned for its diverse wildlife, was equally mesmerizing. Guided safaris revealed elephants, lions, and even the elusive leopards, while the vibrant birdlife added a symphonic touch to the adventure. Adere’s prime location grants unparalleled access to Kidepo’s wonders, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.
Adere’s commitment to excellence extends beyond its accommodations. Gourmet dining under the stars, crackling bonfires, and impeccable service create moments that resonate deeply. As QM Quarless Asale, Director at the United Nations in Trinidad, remarked: “There are places you visit and places that become a part of you. Adere Safari Lodge is the latter—a perfect blend of wild beauty, luxurious comfort, and heartfelt connection. I will return, not just once, but as often as I can.”
The lodge also embodies a profound commitment to conservation and community upliftment. Through partnerships with local villages and environmental initiatives, Adere demonstrates that luxury tourism can coexist with sustainability.

Recognized as a premier destination for global leaders, Adere boasts world-class facilities, including conference amenities, high-speed internet, and the capacity to host up to 200 delegates. The royal delegation representing over 15 countries announced plans to hold annual retreats at Adere, solidifying its reputation as a venue for international summits.
As QM Dr. Myrna Belgrave Acom V from Barbados noted: “Adere Safari Lodge is Africa at its finest—untamed, breathtaking, and endlessly welcoming. It’s not just a lodge; it’s an invitation to live, love, and return again and again.”
Adere Safari Lodge is not just a destination; it’s an awakening—an experience that rejuvenates the soul and inspires the mind. For anyone seeking a transformative journey, Adere is a must-visit gem in the heart of Africa.
