“We had a lovely stay, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.”
It was wonderful to sit outside on our patio area and watch the elephants that came in the late afternoon.

“Good places often decline when getting more popular”
It's just outside of the QE NP, very comfortable and clean lodges, the pool is clean and warm, and the staff offers you a lot to make your stay comfortable. Good value for money compared to lodges in this area.

“Two days stay at the Queen Elisabeth National park.”
The cottages are very spacious. Meals are good. They provide accommodation for 55 K for drivers. The hotel is opposite of the lake, and first morning it was a hippo eating grass all the morning behind the swimming pool. Hotel has a small pool. The local guide Bright- working in the hotel is very nice and useful. He can help to organize better the time of your stay in the area. The manager attend us, Mr. Julius is very effective, patient and nice. The lake George boat trip is very recommendable. The Queen Elisabeth park, seemed to us, much poor of animals, than Murchison National park. The fire by the pool at night was very nice. We suggest to do it every night.

“Brilliant location, excellent food, superb cottages and the best service in Uganda”
Breakfast great, location good - 20 mins from Queen Elizabeth National Park and genuinely overlooking the lake from where you can her the hippos. Room huge, bathroom luxurious and service unbelievably good. They even washed my filthy pick-up whilst I was on a game drive. We will be back.
