This hotel is settled in a wonderful position on the kazinga channel, on the top of an hill. This locatioconsents to enjoy wonderful views of the sorrounding park area. The hotel is the tipical big hotel of many african destinations: wide spaces and rooms (but with a very small bathroom), big gardens, good self service kitchen during evening and served... more

Mweya Safari Lodge is a beautiful resort hotel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. It has more modern amenities than a typical "safari" lodging in Uganda. Great views of the Mweya channel and lakes, lovely pool, fitness center, "fine dining" style restaurant, attentive staff. But the main reason to stay here is the location. Easy access to the Mweya channel... more

In comparison to nearby lodges like Ndali and Jacana I must honestly say that Mweya Safari Lodge is not as good, but nevertheless THE must stay in QENP due to its location. more

We stayed at Mweya Safari lodge for 2 nights in March 2010, this place is just amazing!! The views from the lodge are fantastic, staff were so very helpful and really went out of their way to help. Day or night..staff are always smiling! Food was lovely..rooms were spacious and cleaned daily. The game drives were brilliant, we were lucky... more

This is a great place to get a real African experience in terms of scenery. It is right in the middle of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The game drive and trip on the lake was fantastic. After a long day sight-seeing the pool was a lovely way to relax. There were loads of animals to see - lots of elephants,... more

Just stayed at the Mweya Safari Lodge and had a horrible infestation of bed bugs. Nasty experience. And the first person I spoke to at the front desk insisted they were mosquitoes. Didn't seem to want to bother. Had to go back again, and the next person confirmed there was an infestation of bed bugs. Yuck. Would not recommend. more

Management response from

“Response to the recent posting on the 25th of January complaining of bed bugs at Mweya Safari Lodge.” The management of the Lodge takes any complaints of this nature very seriously and although this is the first time ever in over a decade that a complaint of this nature has been received by us the room in question was temporarily...

This is really the only place to stay if you want to be close to the game drives and boat rides offered early morning so we had a friend make the booking for us which included all meals. That is necessary because it is remotely located. It had been raining for over a week when we arrived so the road... more

And it really was amazing - can't speak highly enough of it. Staff were really friendly and efficent , the food was excellent, rooms had... more

After a wonderful stay at Bwindi Lodge and Mihingo Lodge, we were transported to this awful time-warped 80s place. To be fair, the location is great, overlooking the Lake. But that's about it. The food in the restaurant is Westernized, badly cooked standard fare. The birds on the terrace take the bread from your desk and relieve themselves on your... more

Pretty much everyone who’s been to QENP is familiar with Mweya, since it occupies a fabulous location on a peninsula overlooking the Kazinga Channel and Lake Edward. Because it's so far from anything else, Mweya is a self-contained community, with guide and staff lodging, a petrol station, etc., and it's worth taking the time to stroll around the grounds. Everyone... more
