This lodge offers accommodation in the heart of the Iwokrama Rainforest in eight large timber and thatch cabins – each beautifully situated on the banks of the mighty Essequibo River, with private facilities and solar powered electricity.
The River Lodge is equipped with a restaurant, lounge and bar, library, store, science labs and a business centre. Whilst it is remote, it has all that you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Hammocks are hung on the verandahs of each cabin for guests to enjoy, and the birdwatching here is excellent.
The adventurous may wish to head deeper into the forest for a night or two at one of the field station’s six satellite camps. Turtle Mountain Camp is roughly a 30-minute boat ride down stream from the lodge and it has wooden open-air sleeping huts, a dining hut, and flush toilets. Visitors to satellite camps sleep in hammocks with specially designed mosquito nets.
