Bush Lodge is in a great location overlooking the Kazinga Channel, with great views of the hippos wallowing in water and the management obviously regard that having such a good location is all that the paying customers want. Wrong! We stayed in April which is in the middle of the low season and if the service we got is the... More

The Bush Lodge has a nice view of the water and you can nearly constantly view hippos and a range of birdlife from the lodge's perch. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable enough. The eco toilets might be a bit of an adjustment for novice travelers and the outdoor shower is hard to handle when the night air is... More

We stayed two nights here and it was really wonderful. The tents were comfortable and the outdoor shower was kind of fun. The food was delicious and just the right amount after a hot dusty day on driving safari. The cold wet towels presented to you when you drive in were very welcome! We enjoyed the bonfire after dinner -... More

Nestled high on the hills overlooking the Kazinga Channel, the views were not the only thing that held us in awe during our two night stay in November 2011. The staff at the Bush Lodge was very friendly and attentive. The rooms were large, comfortable and clean. The food was simple, but delicious. It was 5 Stars All Around. Highlights... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during a recent tour of Uganda and found the accommodation to be perfectly adequate if not luxurious. The outside "his & hers" bush showers for each tent/cabin were great fun and the water plenty warm enough at the end of a hot day. The food was nice but the drinks were always a little... More

The kind of place you'd want to stay for at least a week. Simple, clean, ecological. All you need to feel good. Excellent food, well presented and served. Located close to the National Park. A place we can recommend without reservation. More

Rustic tent camp with special hints of luxury such as solar showers, indoor toilets, escort with gun required at night between cabin-tents and dining tent. Excellent food. Bring your own water in great quantities or be prepared to buy it. Best boat tour is 3PM from Mweywa Lodge landing. Sit on the left (Port) side of the boat for best... More

The website makes this camp look like a true luxury-tented camp with the promise of hot showers and bathrooms in the tent. The shower was outside of the tent with a bamboo fence around it that was not quite private -- many gaps in the fence. As for the hot water, the camp needed a one-hour notice, which we did... More

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... More

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... More
