We are thrilled to introduce you to our newest homestay in Lukodi, expanding our range of immersive Acholi tourism experiences beyond Patiko. Located about 20 kilometers from Gulu Town in Northern Uganda, Lukodi gives travelers a unique opportunity to connect with Acholi culture, history, and creativity.
A Village with a Poignant History
Lukodi carries a moving story. During the long years of the LRA war, the village endured great hardship, including the tragic events of the 2004 massacre. Despite these challenges, the community has shown remarkable resilience, preserving its culture, traditions, and spirit. Today, Lukodi welcomes visitors with warmth, offering a window into authentic Acholi life and the strength of its people.
Why Lukodi Stands Out
Lukodi is alive with tradition and creativity. It is home to some of the land’s skilled artisans who craft pottery and paint calabashes, transforming clay and gourds into beautiful, meaningful works. Visitors can watch artisans at work, try simple techniques, and hear the stories behind these crafts. Here, Acholi culture is lived and celebrated, not just shown.
Things to See and Do
Surrounded by peaceful landscapes, Lukodi provides easy access to other Acholi tourism sites, including the Lukodi massacre memorial site. Visitors can enjoy guided village walks, meet local families, sample traditional food, and experience the rhythms of daily life in an Acholi community. Its serene setting makes it an ideal base for exploring Northern Uganda while staying connected to culture and heritage.
Supporting Local Artisans
Our homestay is also a home for local artisans. Every visit helps support pottery and calabash makers, preserving traditional skills passed down through generations. Guests can join workshops, create unique souvenirs, and learn directly from the village’s master artisans.
An Authentic Acholi Experience
Lukodi offers more than sightseeing, it invites you to live the Acholi way. Sharing meals with families, listening to stories, and participating in daily life provides a deeper understanding of Acholi culture. Every visit becomes a personal journey of learning, connection, and appreciation.Don’t wait, secure your spot at our Lukodi homestay today.
