A good lakeside location with a spacious chalet. We stayed 3 nights. Generally all good rather than 'that special place'. Our chalet was clean and well serviced and water was hot. We missed not having a lakeside view from the balcony - the trees in front (lakeside) could be removed - to let more light and air into the place.... More

We stayed at Jacana Safari Lodge for 3 nights over the new year period and welcomed 2012 in with style!! The staff were just fantastic and went out of their way to cater to our every whim, which included pina colada cocktails for sundowners on New Years Eve. The rooms were spacious and the bed very comfortable (had 3 of... More

A wonderful respite after a long day of travel. The traditional sundowner in the open air bar that overlooked the lake. The service was impeccable, and the accommodations could not have been better! Monkeys and Elephants have been know to come visit. Simon Gluckman of Intrepid Travels set this up for us, and everything was 1st class! More

I recently stayed at Jacana safari lodge and can say it is one of the best places I've ever stayed (and I've travelled extensivly round the world). As others have said the location is stunning, on the edge of the lake, in the middle of the forest, with wild animals all around, a hippo under our window, chimps in the... More

I led a group of photographers on a three day Safari Photography Workshop at Jacana and couldn't have been happier. We had ample space for formal workshops and were well placed to access the park to put our knowledge into practice. The food was exceptional and the chef went out of her way to make the food as tasty and... More

The lodge is located 11km from the main road along a very bumpy road into the bush. We were based here for game drives into Queen Elizabeth National Park which was a short drive along the main road - on the way we saw some large game including elephants. The facilities were good although there were some issues, mainly the... More

In a brief, great place. The other reviews have highlighted the best of it, and, really, exaggerated the "negative" (according to the authors' opinion) aspects. Book a room there and have fun. More

This was our second visit. As before, we enjoyed the beauty and peace. Its location on a crater lake is superb, giving wonderful sunsets and views of fishermen in their canoes. The food is very good and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant. The lodges are very comfortable, spacious with good storage space, privacy and lovely seating area looking over... More

The lodge is remotely located down a very long and bumpy track, it takes about 20 mins to the main road. It is not ideally used as a base for game viewing in QE NP which is about an hour away. The facilities at this lodge are hard to fault. The wood-built rooms are spread out in the still-forested lodge... More
