THE GENADE FAMILY

After retiring from the South African Defense Force, Johan Genade with the Genade family relocated to Uganda in 2007. Shortly after arrival in Uganda, Angie Genade was awarded the position of Executive Director of Rhino Fund Uganda after which the Genade family set out fully committed to turn Rhino Fund Uganda into a world renowned Rhino Conservation project.

In 2010 Johan Genade with his two sons Nico and Duan Genade set out to construct and manage Amuka Safari Lodge with the mission of making Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary a must see destination in Uganda. After 18 months of blood, sweat and tears Johan along with his sons completed the initial construction of Amuka Safari Lodge. In 2013 Amuka closed for a further 12 months of renovations and expansions to create the lodge that stands today.

In early 2016 Amuka Safari Lodge as well as Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary suffered a dire loss with the passing of Johan Genade after 3 years of fighting prostate cancer.

The Amuka Lodge staff are all doing a sterling job making sure that Amuka Lodge lives up to its reputation of providing service excellence.
