Mabamba Lodge

Amazing place. Cozy and stylish room, chill and nice territory- very quiet, only nature and birds songs. Friendly staff and very tasty food. We really enjoyed this place

Personeel was erg aardig en behulpzaam. Mooie locatie aan het meer. Fijn zwembad. Eten was goed

Veel van de gebouwen waren nog niet af. Het was niet heel erg veilig voor Pat om naar de huisjes te gaan, doordat de grond oneven was.

Wonderful staff looked after us and made our stay a delight. The resort is on the edge of Lake Victoria and set in lush vegetation. The food is delicious and the pool is fantastic. Rooms are eclectic, comfortable, and clean. Loved our stay here. The Mabamba wetlands are less than a kilometre away, and the resort organised an excellent local guide, Brian, and a boat to take us there to see the shoebills. Birdwatching heaven!, The short road to the resort is dirt and can be affected by rain.

Exceptional food and staff. Perfect location for the shoebill tours - the lodge is lakefront and has its own boat for a guide to take you. Great room, amazing pool and birdlife at the lodge itself. We loved our stay - John (chef) and Joanne our amazing host went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time and were well fed with healthy and delicious food. Staff were always on hand helping us at our crazy arrival and departure times. We hope to come back again to stay at the lodge and see the beautiful shoebill once more.

Very very Bumpy dirt road from entebbe to the lodge (2hrs) - The lodge arranged a boat transfer to entebbe, then taxi to the airport on our return and this was fantastic ! We wish we had done that to get there.- our hot tip! The bed was too firm for us, shower water pressure and hot water could be better. But these are minor things that can easily be fixed.

Cute place in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are beautiful…

BUT: no hot shower only bathtub. The light was flickering. The pool smells weird and is not that clean. Only WiFi in the restaurant and it was super bad. Now the restaurant: they only sell small bottles of water for 5000 Schilling and sodas (coke etc) are 3000 Schilling. The don’t have a menu and you can only choose from the 2 meals they decide shortly before. A vegetarian dish costs $10for ugali with sauce or a curry but it’s the same options every day. Based on their website you expect a restaurant with a variety but this is absolutely not the case. what you get outside for probably a few cents feels kind of ridiculous for such a high end accommodation.

The service was very helpful and kind, vegan food can get ordered easily and the cabins are very nice constructed.

Food was great, location is somewhat remote but extremely nice

Lack of electricity
