“Ihamba is purely an african styled lodge which makes it adventurous”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed in Ihamba for my x-mass holiday and i surely love it. Its made of of stone and grass and it looks very African and beautiful. Its different from a 3 star hotel so it gives you a real experience of Africa. I also enjoyed the great view of that lake near the Lodge.......i really love the place. the services where good too. The rooms are spacious and neat......
Generally if you are looking for an african experience for a lodge..... it a great place to go

“WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2011

person found this review helpful

DO NOT GO TO IHAMBA....... we stayed there with family and it was the worst experience ever.... the service is very poor..... its a very bushy place..... you spend all night swatting off mosquitos and checking your bed to make sure no ghekos have set up shop in there. You can count on burned sausages for breakfast....and then they are out of drinks by day 2 of your stay there. Thank God we had an ice cooler filled with our own drinks.... otw....... well I dont want to imagine the alternatives. There is nothing to do at the lodge itself.......so dont plan on relaxing there. You end up driving to the other lodges to relax....and eat and you spend way more than if you'd just booked Jakana or Mweya instead....... DO NOT GO HERE if you know whats good for you

“The Great home in wilderness !”

people found this review helpful

The service during the booking was superb and made the whole process very easy. We couldn't believe the service, quality of meals and overall ambiance at the lodge over looking at Lake George and the mountains of the moon (Rwenzori) particularly when we consider the price we paid.

This email is sent to congratulate the whole team at Ihamba safari lodge (staff, cook, and waiters) who have been so helpful and managed to make of this beautiful place also a special place. Special thanks to Katuutu who was so good at dealing efficiently with unexpected requests or difficulties. She never lost her smile even when there were many things to deal with at the same time. hahahah.
