Amazing wildlife, unforgetable place.

The location is absolutely stunning, I never saw as many animals that in this place ! It was absolutely insane. When I woke up in the morning to see the sunrise I could see from my chair hippos in and out of the water, more than 20 waterbucks, 3 wild boards family, 3 buffalos, hundreds of birds... Like the opening scene of the King Lion ! Amazing amazing place !

We love this place. It's basic accommodation but in an amazing location. You eat breakfast and dinner with hippos aside. Welcoming and kind owner who showed us hippos during the evening. Fresh fish from the lake for dinner. Our best experience with accommodation in Uganda. Thanks

The owner was very friendly, helpful. Before my travel contact me with whatsapp. The dinner and breakfast tasty and plenty. The accomodation looks like on the picture. If you would like spend a full day in the accomodation to reading a book and relax, not sure the best choise. But if you are a looking for a best place to start early game drive in Kasenyi, mske sure you can choose. Owner recommended a guide for a game drive with my rented car, I recommend!

Amazing location, everyone was very nice. Right in the park with hippos and waterbuck all around and right on the lake.

The animals (hippos, waterbuck and warthogs) coming onto the campsite at night was fantastic. The location also meant we weren't paying park fees to stay there because the access was on a public road. The evening meal around the campfire was also great.

Short but really enjoyable

Lovely bandas, food really good, and a power socket to charge our phones - what else could you want? But best bit was meeting an elephant on the way back from the village after buying bottled water. And the hippos hoovering up grass a few metres from our window every night was great too.

This is a magical place! You are staying in the heart of the national park - elephants, hippos and plenty of birds at your doorstep! Sunset and dawn will give the place a magical touch! This is a truly astonishing place. Staying here is an adventure & you support the local community which is living in the national park. This is a very important contribution to nature conservation - it is so important that the local communities benefit from national parks & not only the owners of the high end (and high price) lodges. But be prepared to be very close to nature - if you panic when hippos & elephants walk through the camp this might not be the right place for you. Otherwise it is totally worth every dollar, euro or ugx. The huts are super comfortable, clean and well maintained. Of course it is not a super luxury place - but honestly who needs that if nature provides all that beauty. You can get to the camp with bodas or you can get picked up by a driver (around 80k). The drive to the camp is a mini safari on its own. Tip: We made the mistake to book a safari in advance from an company in fort Portal - rather arrange something with the locals - our neighbours did a boot trip on the lake with a local fisherman & they loved it! You can cook your own meals if you are traveling on budget & know how to cook on fire :) Thanks for this experience!

beautiful basic lodge in the midst of nature

Thjs lodge is fantastic.It may seem difficult to find but it’s worth it as you are greeted by lovely local staff, especially Sharon the chef who cooks up great local food including fresh fish. The 4 traditional thatched huts are clean and comfortable and come with a refreshing shower Animals roam around the camp all night while you can sit by campfire to enjoy the outside. breakfast is by the lake to watch the birds and hippos it’s near the Salt lakes but through the village nearer the fresh water lake so there is no suphur smell if you are wanting a reasonably priced that is run by locals and supports the local village this is it if you are used to staying in expensive resorts this may not be for you but I would say give it a go as you have a much more authentic experience

not great when using their tents

This place has a huge potential. It is beautifully located with lots of animals around and the hippos literally walked past our tent at night. That was a magnificent experience.

OK for one night

Nice place to wake up with hippos in the morning. Nevertheless - place could be cleant - lot of plastic around!!!!! With little it could make a big difference.
