Today, Uganda mourns the loss of His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the King of Tooro.

For those of us in tourism, his passing is deeply felt.

King Oyo was a passionate advocate for the beauty and potential of Tooro—from the majestic Rwenzori Mountains to its forests, crater lakes, culture and communities. He understood the power of tourism to showcase the region to the world.

We remember a King who understood that Tooro's natural and cultural heritage was not only something to protect, but something to share with the world.

His involvement in initiatives such as the King Oyo Rwenzori Royal Expedition helped shine a light on mountain tourism, conservation and the importance of protecting the region's natural heritage.

At Great Lakes Safaris & Collection, we are grateful for his contribution to promoting a region we are proud to share with travellers from around the world.

Our thoughts are with the Batooro, the Royal Family, the Tooro Kingdom and all Ugandans during this difficult time.

May his legacy continue to inspire the protection and celebration of Tooro's people, culture and natural heritage.

Rest in peace, Your Majesty. 🕊️

The forest has a new home. 🌿

We are thrilled to finally open the doors to Pabidi Lodge. Tucked away in the ancient canopy of the Budongo Forest, we’ve created a sanctuary where luxury is defined by the rustle of leaves and the rhythm of the wild.

From our sun-swept decks to the quiet comfort of our forest-facing suites, every detail has been designed for you to disconnect and rediscover your sense of wonder.

The wait is over. We are officially open and ready to host your next escape. >
