“A very pleasant stay and could not recommend enough.”
The location is fantastic, not directly in the park which gives flexibility if you want to explore other parts, but close enough that you are in the park in under 15 min. The setup and ambience are fantastic, the staff very welcoming, attentive and friendly; special shoutout to Godard and Elizabeth; the food is very good and they have clearly worked on any older feedback ,all in all a fantastic safari lodge.

“Highlight of my trip in Uganda and Rwanda 🥰”
The staff and location!!! You wake up with an elephant in front of your lodge.. it’s unreal. The staff is so attentive and fun! Hands down my favorite spot in Uganda. Everything was perfect!

“perfect lodge”
非常好的一家酒店,目前的评分显然低了,服务真的无可挑剔,客房设施很好,关键又大又干净,打扫非常认真。东西挺好吃的,尤其晚餐,出品很不错 it was an absolutely delightful experience. Here are a few highlights that made my stay truly memorable: 1. **Location**: The hotel's location is fantastic, offering easy access to the city's attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. The sunset views from the hotel were breathtaking and a highlight of my day. 2. **Room Quality**: Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully appointed. The attention to detail in the room's design and maintenance was evident and greatly appreciated. 3. **Service**: The service was outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, proactive, and eager to assist. Their genuine warmth and professionalism made us feel truly welcome. 4. **Food**: The culinary offerings at the hotel were a delightful surprise. The dinner was particularly impressive, exceeding my expectations with its variety, quality, and presentation. 5. **Overall Experience**: From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, our experience was seamless and enjoyable. The combination of a great location, comfortable accommodations, exceptional service, and delicious food made our stay truly special.

Went with my wife. This facility was affordable and the staff was very nice. Always there when we needed them. The scenery was also magnificent. We could see buffalo grazing and had elephants visit the lodge once in a while. We had most of the activities we did in the game park organised for us by the lodge which took out any inconvenience we may have had.

“Amazing place to stay when you want to explore Elizabeth National Park and the Kazinga channel.”
The cottages are very clean and spacious. Together with the pool and sitting area it really is a fantastic place to stay. The staff is super friendly and the food was the best we have had in Uganda.
