We speak the language of African hospitality.
Born from real, hands-on lodge management experience, Lodge Solutions brings together the people, practical know-how and local connections that help hospitality businesses thrive. From strengthening back-office operations and developing teams to sourcing the right products and creating memorable experiences, we work alongside you to turn ideas into action. Whether you run a lodge, hotel, restaurant or café, we help bring the right pieces together — with a deep appreciation for the people, places and communities that make hospitality what it is.
Built for the back-office ninjas.
Running a safari lodge or wilderness camp means wearing a dozen hats before noon: acting as an interior decorator, auditing food requisitions, answering guest reviews, and handling maintenance calls in remote locations without easy supply access.
Lodge Solutions was created to be the dedicated backbone for the hospitality heroes working #BehindTheScenes. We consolidate procurement, provide hotel-grade SOPs, train field staff, and ensure your lodge runs like clockwork.
One purpose. Three ways to make hospitality better.
Lodge Solutions brings together practical hospitality support, thoughtful sourcing and memorable experiences. Through our three connected brands, we help hospitality businesses find what they need, strengthen how they work and create experiences worth remembering.

The core values that shape every consultation, supply contract, and partnership we build.
Buy Uganda, Build Uganda (#BUBU)
We actively channel lodge procurement spend to local Ugandan farmers, youth groups, and women artisans.
Operational Rigor
We bring international hotel standard operating procedures (SOPs) and financial discipline to off-grid wilderness environments.
Eco & Conservation Ethics
From vernacular stone and timber construction to solar energy and plastic-free amenities, sustainability is woven into every solution.
Youth & Women Empowerment
We believe hospitality creates opportunities that reach far beyond the guest experience. Through training, mentoring and practical career pathways, we support women and young people to build skills, find opportunities and grow within Uganda's hospitality industry.
Better hospitality is built together.
Good hospitality depends on more than what guests see. It takes skilled people, dependable suppliers, thoughtful planning and businesses that work well together. We help connect these pieces, creating practical opportunities for hospitality businesses, local enterprises and the communities around them.
Local jobs and skills
Behind every memorable guest experience is a team that makes it happen. We support staff development, training and recruitment connections across hospitality, from kitchens and front office to guiding, supervision and management — with a particular interest in widening opportunities for women and young people.
Stronger Ugandan supply chains
Through our Buy Uganda Build Uganda (#BUBU) approach, we help connect hospitality businesses with Ugandan makers, farmers, suppliers, women-led groups and youth enterprises. The aim is practical: to make local sourcing work for businesses while helping more value, skills and opportunity circulate within local communities.
Domestic tourism and memorable experiences
Hospitality is also about giving people more reasons to explore, gather and experience a place differently. Through events, activations and destination experiences, we help connect visitors with places to stay, local businesses and experiences worth travelling for — from festivals and marathons to considered gatherings and lodge experiences.
Better standards, thoughtful resource use & lasting partnerships
Our hands-on work with hospitality teams has shown us that lasting improvement comes from getting the everyday things right. We help businesses strengthen service standards, improve operations, make considered use of resources and build relationships that go beyond a single project.
We believe good advice matters most when it can be put into practice — and when the people doing the work are supported to make it last.
The people behind the work.
Hospitality is a people business, and so are we. At Lodge Solutions, our core team is based in Kampala, supported by a wider network of specialists we bring in when a project calls for additional expertise.

The right people for the work: Our Specialist Network
Not every hospitality challenge needs the same solution. Depending on the project, we bring in specialists whose knowledge and skills complement our core team. Our wider network includes kitchen layout specialists, executive chefs supporting menu development, costing and training, furniture and décor makers, architects and construction teams, agronomists and farm specialists, and spa and massage trainers.
We coordinate the work around each brief, bringing the right expertise together and keeping agreed standards in view — so you access a broader range of skills without piecing everything together on your own.
Sheila Kogo-Malinga
Founder & CEO • sheila@lodgesolutions.net
Born and raised in Kenya, Sheila's journey into hospitality has taken her through different places, industries and ways of understanding people and business. Her early working experience in England, including roles at Odeon Cinema and River Island, gave her a practical grounding in customer service, teamwork and the everyday interactions that shape how people feel about a business.
She later spent seven years working in lodge operations with Great Lakes Safaris and Uganda Lodges, alongside founder Amos Wekesa. Her work included Primate Lodge Kibale, Elephant Plains Lodge, Budongo chimpanzee-tracking operations and luxury boat charters.
With an M.Sc. in Business Administration & Human Resource Management and a B.A. in Business and Marketing Management from Oxford Brookes University, Sheila founded Lodge Solutions in 2020 to provide hospitality businesses with the hands-on support, supplier connections and operational backbone they need to thrive.
“They say experience is the best teacher. Lodge Solutions is the direct product of years spent working behind the scenes in the African bush — empowering teams, streamlining supplies, and building spaces that guests fall in love with.”
From the shores of Lake Victoria to the gorilla highlands.

The right project starts with the right conversation.
We begin with a complimentary initial consultation to understand what you are looking to achieve, discuss where we can help and determine whether there is a good fit. If there is a fit, we discuss appropriate scope, team and proposal.
