“The perfect mix of rustic and luxury”

Clean, stylish, creative, comfortable and great food to boot without feeling like your staying in a resort that could be anywhere in the world. We had an amazing stay here - the staff is incredible!! We even saw a hippo eating grass just in front of our tent cabin walking back after dinner. Luckily we had an escort who very calmly led us to our rooms making us feel comfortable and safe while still enjoying the fact that we saw a giant hippo just outside our room!

In a land of overpriced hotels, this place is a great value!!

“Amazing experience, wouldn't go anywhere else!”

We stayed here for two nights on our safari tour of Uganda, and it was absolutely inredible. The staff was wonderful, and the food great (four courses every evening!). Most impressive though were the views from our cabins where we had front row tickets to the Kazinga Channel and got to watch elephants and hippos from our comfortable chairs. And everything was eco-friendly as well!

“A great place to stay”

We spent 4 night at QEBL, in a tent, and I would suggest this accomodation to everyone.
The staff is kind and friendly, the location is very nice with good views and is immerse in the nature, the kitchen is very good, the tents clean and fashinating.
If I have to find something less good, I could say the shower was cold and the wc is a little unusual even if it was not my first time in the nature, but these are absolutly minor problems compared to what you get whit this lodge.

Room Tip: Probably the rooms with the best view are those directly overlooking on the Kazinga channel

“Amazing food and great scenery”

The tented camps are really cool with outdoor showers and indoor dry non-flush toilets. We stayed there for two nights and one the first night, I woke up during the middle of the night to hippos grazing just outside our tent! Something I'll remember forever.
The food is also definitely something special especially their 4-course dinner menus which is served in their lovely tented candle lit dining area. There's also a fireplace where you can hang out if weather permits.
They also have a camping site for travellers on a smaller budget.

“Good value eco lodge and great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

We stayed in the lodge for 2 nights. We arrived early evening and checked in by the camp fire with a great view over Kazinga Channel. The tent was comfortable, and the outdoor shower was nice. The food was fantastic, and there's the option of eating by the camp fire which was a very nice touch.
Just a couple of tips:
On the shower... The camp staff asked if we would like to order a warm shower and we all enthusiastically said 'yes hot please'... but considering they add one bucket of hot water into a 100L tub, dont expect it be hot like we did!! It was remotely warm at best!
On the bathroom... The bathrooms next to the dining tent have flushing toilets!
Overall a really cool place to stay for 2 nights.
