Guest Reviews
- Olha (10/5): - It is the best lodge we’ve been in Uganda. Specious rooms, stunning surroundings with elephants peacefully passing by or just relax on the terrace watching numerous birds out of your lodge. Restaurant is outstanding with views over the park and what is the most important delicious dishes again the best we’ve tried in Uganda.
I will miss this place so much. Special thanks to the team making our stay so special.
- Joske (9/5): - Fijne lodge met een restaurant met uitzicht op de omliggende bebossing. Het eten was uitstekend. Wel oppassen voor de olifanten die regelmatig op bezoek komen op het terrein!
- Paul (8/5): -
- Cheryl (10/5): - Room was great, food was very good and the surrounding wildlife was fantastic! Northing
- ANDREA (8/5): -
- Noémie (10/5): -
- Freddy (9/5): - De aanwezigheid van de dieren waaronder het dagelijks bezoek van olifanten. Het sanitair blok is wel heel basic en de afwerking kon beter.
- Rafael (10/5): Probably one of the best Booking experiences I have ever had. - Everything
- Lakisha Birgit (8/5): It’s ok - The lodge was very clean and well maintained. The staff was usually available whenever I needed something and they were helpful when I asked for assistance. I also appreciated that the room was cleaned regularly and kept in good condition during my stay. It was possible to work from the room with my laptop. The internet was not always very strong, but it was still manageable for basic work. One thing that disappointed me was the chimpanzee tracking. I had planned to do the activity and was told that booking 24 hours in advance should be enough. Unfortunately the spot I wanted was suddenly no longer available and there was not much effort to offer an alternative activity or solution.
I also had mixed feelings about the situation with the elephant that sometimes comes to the lodge. At first it was nice to see the animal and I noticed that it was sometimes given food by the staff. However I later learned that when the elephant damaged a door it was chased away with fire. I understand that the lodge needs to protect the property, but feeding the elephant in the first place makes it return again and again. Chasing it away with fire afterwards felt a bit sad and not very animal friendly. It might be better not to feed the elephant at all so it does not become dependent on the lodge for food.
Overall I also expected to see more wildlife during my stay. Apart from the elephant there were hardly any animals around, which was a little disappointing because I had hoped for more nature experiences.
In general the lodge is an okay place to stay and the cleanliness and helpful staff were positives, but my expectations regarding wildlife and activities were not fully met.
- Ovesten (7/5): Very nice place - Everything except shared bathroom Shared bathroom. Cramped and not much space for the clean clothes, and the things you bring to the bathroom. And that was when I was alone. I would maybe rate this place a 9 if alittle more space in the shared bathroom.
- Victor (10/5): - Increible! Magnifica estancia. Todo fue realmente bien.
Las comidas fueron las mejores de todo el viaje, estaban realmente buenas.
Todas las personas que trabajan alli son increiblemente serviciales, atentos, simpaticos, agradables, un 10 tod@s.
El lugar es maravilloso, se respira tranquilidad y naturaleza por todos los lados y pasan los elefantes como si fueran un huesped mas.
La tienda estaba muy bien, grande y cabiamos 3 personas sobradamente.
Contratamos al guia para el parque y para el paseo por el canal y muy bien.
- Tamara (10/5): -
- Dotan (10/5): -
- julie (6/5): Les bungalows sont vieillots, la nourriture n’est pas exceptionnelle. Les pique niques et les petits déjeuners n’étaient - Le personnel est gentil mais peu efficace et pas bien formé.
On a attendu 1h que notre dîner soit prêt.
- stéphane gronlet-coulombier (10/5): Elephant from close reach -
- Dudai (10/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): Elephant paradise! - What an amazing place in QE NP! We honestly couldnt believe it when not 1, but 3 elephants, at various times thorughout the day, rocked up to the camp to say hello. The bar area was really nice and social, the staff were so friendly, our tent had a lovely bed in it and it didnt even feel like camping which was great. The dinner was lovely. Would definitely recommend staying here!
- MartinJedlinsky (10/5): -
- Miguel (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft, unglaublich nettes und aufmerksames Personal und tolle Lage - Die Lodge ist einfach nur traumhaft schön und das Personal unglaublich nett und aufmerksam. Wir blieben hier für drei Nächte und würden jedem einen Besuch empfehlen. Die „Hauselefanten“ waren Entertainment pur.
- Natalia (10/5): That was amazing. Recommand 11/10. And local enjojos coming for food and water made this stay special to me - Service and kindness of personel. They welcomed me with wet hot towel for hands and a glass of juice. All food was very delicious.
- Colomban (10/5): - Le personnel adorable
Les éléphants qui passent tranquillement au milieu des logements la nuit et le matin
- sandra (8/5): -
- Colomban (9/5): - Les éléphants qui se baladent la nuit et le matin autour des habitations, impressionnants et placides.
Les repas de qualité.
Le personnel souriant, serviable et accueillant.
- Hans Couck (10/5): Everything 11/10, excellence in everything - Everything they do is simply excellent: welcoming staff, amazing food, cleanliness, tent comfort, the overall atmosphere, security .Highly recommended!
- Renske (9/5): Nice location, relatively close to the park - Loved the location, and the food was good. Besides that the staff is very friendly!
Also the elephant that comes to the location is very special. However I’m not sure how safe this will be in the future as they are feeding the elephant and this can attract more, which might lead to conflicts Room was ok, not very special in comparison with the price we paid
- Kemuel Ben (10/5): Patience helped me so much - Great Lodge with amazing food. But the best are the service ladies, especially Patience who helped me so much with my issues with my lost baggage, organizing my transfers and booking my game drives. She is one of a kind and really helped me so much.
- Aleksandr (7/5): - Хороший лодж. Хорошие завтраки. Приятный персонал. Палатки подуставшие. Многие молнии не работали и соответственно не закрывались. У кого фобии на проникновение комаров через эти щели будет очень некомфортно.
- Tracy (10/5): Elephant viewing from the restaurant in a calm, well appointed environment - Sensational location
Attentive staff Fan in room
- Simon Peter (10/5): Met expectations - Friendly and understanding staff Our toilet soap wasn’t working well
- Alexis (9/5): Très bien et pourrait etre encore mieux ! - L’emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel.
Le lodge est agréable et les chambres sont assez spacieuse Les matelas sont vieillissants et mériteraient d’être changés.
- Martin (10/5): - Really nice They start with cleaninh when we were in tent.
Is better wait and clean after check out.
- Alfons (10/5): Beste Entscheidung - Große helle Zimmer
Kompetente Mitarbeiter und sehr leckerem Essen.
Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Bootsfahrt und Safari.
In Uganda unsere beste Unterkunft.
Elefanten und andere Wildtiere laufen durch die Anlage 😍 Nichts, für uns war es perfekt.
- Inesa (10/5): - Нам всё очень понравился. Персонал на высшем уровне- гостеприимные все, улыбчивые и красивые. Мы жили в палатке, все чисто ,вода горячая тоже была,хотя не далеко был общественный, . Ресторан тоже не разочаровал- еда вкусная и разнообразная.
- Swantje (10/5): -
- Noelia (9/5): -
- Dimitri (9/5): Great place! - Just a great place. The staff is awesome and so helpful, one of a kind. Great food in the restaurant too!
The rooms get a little old, but everything is arranged very practical. There is hot water. Also room service is provided.
Wifi in the lobby works well.
There are elefants in the lodge every day which is fun.
- Erik1234567 (8/5): Jammer van de verstoorde rust - Zeer vriendelijk personeel en leuk om boven te dineren en te ontbijten. Veilig door de bewakers die er constant rondlopen en je 's avonds naar en van je cottage begeleiden . Degelijk en verzorgd eten. 's Avonds ook de huisolifant mogen zien.
Goede ligging niet ver van het park en de boot. Wij hadden van de familycottage wel verwacht dat we binnen ook gewoon een plaats hadden waar we samen konden zitten. Nu waren dat gewoon twee cottages die naast elkaar gelegen waren met een eigen ingang en met iedere cottage zijn eigen privacy.
Wij hadden de tegenslag dat er ergens in de buurt een feest bezig was (huwelijk) en we tot liefst 04.50 met luide boenke boeke muziek niet in slaap geraakten. Schijnt meer dan eens voor te komen.
- Maja (10/5): -
- Jehan (10/5): 100% recommandé - Le personnel était très avenant, chaleureux et toujours aux petits soins (que ce soient les gardes qui assurent la sécurité jour et nuit, les serveuses qui étaient toutes adorables et le personnel à l'accueil). Les repas étaient excellents et le rapport qualité prix est très bon (les lunchs et diners sont inclus). Nous avons adoré cotoyer les éléphants de très près (ainsi qu'un hippopotame). Le lodge se trouve à côté du parc, ce qui est optimal (notamment pour les "evening game drive"). Nous ne pouvons que recommander et reviendrons avec un immense plaisir. Rien. Tout était parfait.
- Mirco (9/5): -
- Beate (10/5): - The staff was very attentive, professional and helpful.
View from the first floor terrace is amazing
Security was great.
Plenty of food choices (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
- Laure (9/5): - The food was good and plentiful, the basic tent was spacious.
The staff was helpful.
There was John the elephant. Even though everything was chosen in advance for the meals, the processes were a bit slow.
- Gloria (10/5): Perfekt - Obwohl ich wegen Busverspätung erst kurz vor Mitternacht angereist bin, war der Check in ohne Probleme möglich. Vorab wurde ich gefragt,was ich essen möchte und habe dies auch noch bei meinem späten Check in erhalten. Unglaublich netter und toller Service.
Ruhig und genau richtig um zu relaxen. Unterwegs ohne eigenem Auto? Kein Problem, denn durch die Unterkunft können Safari‘s und andere Aktivitäten geplant/gebucht werden.
Essen top! Chapeau an den Koch, der nicht nur unglaublich gut kochen kann, sondern sich auch die Zeit nimmt um an den Tisch zu kommen, um sich zu erkundigen, ob alles passt.
Remote arbeiten? Auch hier kein Problem, denn das Wifi ist Dank Starlink perfekt zum Arbeiten.
Downloadgeschwindigkeit: 125 Mbps
Uploadgeschwindigkeit: 5.3 Mbps
- Dinesh (8/5): - Staff very attentive and precise and professional in all of the dealings.
- Gloria (10/5): Top - Top top top
Unterkunft tadellos
Essen fabelhaft
Internet zum Remote arbeiten richtig gut!
- Beata Schmid (10/5): - Die Lage ist top. Das Essen wunderbar und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend! Wir haben im Familienzelt übernachtet und es war sehr gemütlich. -
- Annika (8/5): Nice lodge in great location for QE - Perfect for a 1-2 night stay to be close to the Kasenyi gate and the community boat tours. The food was also really outstanding, even the vegetarian meals, and the terrace where you have food is very beautiful. The staff was kind and extremly attentive. Since the roofs are natural and not covered from the inside, there are plenty of lizards sitting high on the ceiling and pooping everywhere in the room. The shower was more of a drizzle and not enough to wash hair.
- Katarzyna (10/5): - Personel i połozenie Wszystko mi się podobało
- Jonathan (10/5): Tolle Game Lodge und Campsite - Wunderschöne Lage, sehr aufmerksames Personal und super Essen (mehrere Gänge). Direkt im Nationalpark mit Nilpferden und Elefanten welche abends durch das Camp gelaufen sind. -
- xi (10/5): Amazing memories - The staffs are very nice. They help us to call bodaboda and taxi to Kabale. Strongly recommend this lodge. They also offer very delicious meals Nothing
- Elodie (10/5): - Die lodge ist am nördlichen Teil des Queen Elisabeths Park gelegen und wirklich eine super Adresse. Wir haben hier spontan gebucht, ein Doppelzimmer und ein Zelt. Beide schlafmöglichkeiten waren perfekt. Das zimmer war sauber und auch das Essen - wir hatten Vollpension - ist wirklich zu empfehlen!
- Malgorzata (10/5): - Piekne miejsce, nie da sie opisać tego jak bardzo nam sie podobalo, czysto, mila obsługa, dobre jedzenie, polecamy
- Kathrin (8/5): - The location is perfect to start all your activities. The staff is very friendly. The menu, you are offered is really delicious. In addition you will get a house elephant to watch 😉 The tents are outdated. A bit silicon spray on the zippers would help😉
- ANGELIQUE (10/5): - Super camping. Nous avons pris une tente avec pension complète pour 60 euros pour 2. C'était génial. Les tentes sont confortables avec matelas et linge de lit, serviettes fournies. Les tentes sont recouvertes par un toit de chaume. Les sanitaires sont propres avec eau chaude. La salle de restauration est en balcon avec une vue superbe. Le soir et le matin nous avons eu la visite d'un éléphant, incroyable ! Et la nourriture vraiment de qualité, un délice, servi par un personnel charmant. Ne manquez pas cet endroit à deux pas du Kazinga Channel et du parc. Rien
- Anna (10/5): -
- Bärbel (10/5): -
- Dominique (7/5): - L' emplacement malgré une mauvaise piste pour y accéder Les sanitaires communs avec un seul minuscule lavabo pour 3 logements sous tente
- Dominique (7/5): - L’éléphant qui rend visite.
L’espace restaurant
Les petits déjeuners sont corrects Pour les repas du soir : la soupe et la petite entrée sont bonnes mais je n’ai pas aimé le plat principal et le dessert
- Cimbálník (10/5): -
- Basdgrt (9/5): Great stay! - Great food, great location and great service. Animals roaming the property and guarded walks from the tent to the washrooms.
Great base for the north of Queen Elizabeth park! Toilets didn't flush well and beds were hard (as is normal in Uganda)
- Lingjing (10/5): Will recommend this place - Almost everything!The food is delicious and view is just awesome. No hot water
- MONIKA (10/5): - Engiri Game Lodge is an absolutely fantastic place right in the heart of nature! The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful wildlife and stunning scenery. The food is delicious — fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile.
It’s the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the sounds of the wild, and experience true Ugandan hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay close to nature!

- Annemiek (9/5): -
- Mara (10/5): Meine liebste Unterkunft in Uganda - Alles im allem war es ein richtig toller Aufenthalt. Jeden Tag kamen Elefanten zu Besuch. Das Essen war hervorragend und das Personal super freundlich!
- Alisha (10/5): - Amazing location, lovely staff, incredible food and a friendly local elephant who comes to visit daily. We also saw a hippo at night. Being fully emerged in the wildlife was incredible
- frank (8/5): -
- Charlotte (9/5): Perfect locations for a visit to QENP - Great location - 10 minutes drive to QENP entrance gate & with many wild animals visiting the area daily - staff will accompany you to your lodge during hours of darkness to ensure you’re safe when it comes to any animal encounters. Really nice lodgings - comfortable beds, mosquito nets, hot showers. Exceptional staff - everyone was so welcoming and took great care of us, from check-in to check-out. The food was wonderful - 4 courses at night, 3 courses at lunch and a big breakfast. Really enjoyed the option to try local dishes, which were all great. Thanks for a memorable stay. Nothing
- Antonio (8/5): - Posizione ottima, ogni giorno passava un elefante che aveva preso confidenza con la struttura (per mangiare qualche banana o un poco di verdura dalla cucina). Abbiamo mangiato molto bene
- Anne-Marie (9/5): A super stay near the park. - A wonderful camp near Queen Elizabeth. Park. Food was great and lots of it which was a major plus for my teenagers. Cottage was comfortable and had an attached bathroom. Security people were always around so we were safe walking around the camp with wild animals around.
- Ohiana (10/5): - Todo!! Pero mención especial a la comida ( calidad y cantidad) y el personal, sobretodo las chicas del comedor. Nada
- Christian (9/5): - Wir hatten ein Viererzelt mit eigenem Bad, viel Platz, Bad ist open Air und zweckmässig, um das Zelt herum hatten wir Schattenplätze mit Stühlen zum Verweilen, sehr gutes Essen im Lodgerestaurant, gutes Frühstück, freundliches Personal, gute Lage für den Besuch im Queens Elisabeth NP Das Zelt ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, keine Moskitonetze
- Diede (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf in een mooie omgeving met vriendelijk personeel! - Prachtige plek en vriendelijk personeel De wifi was erg slecht
- amaya (10/5): Estancia inolvidable - Todo!!! Personal inmejorable, instalaciones perfectas, muy limpio……el poder ver a los elefantes a dos metros no tiene precio.. gracias!
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sheryl (9/5): Superb -
- Suresh (10/5): John the elephant! - Fantastic welcome with cold towel and fresh juice. Quick check in. Excellent quality of food. Coffee was great. My tent with 2 beds and charging socket was lovely. The restaurant employee, Patience, and others took good care of me. The highlight was definitely John the elephant, who was there when I checked in and the next day during breakfast. That I couldn't spend more days there.
- Amrik (10/5): Amazing location and food, with hippos and an elephant that come to camp! - Very good price. The tent was comfortable and clean. The included meals were excellent, with large portions.
There are hippos that come to the camp at night, and you can look at them with the lodge guards! There is also a large bull elephant that comes to the camp during the day too!! The outdoor / campsite toilets were a bit dirty with lots of insects, but the ones near reception were very clean and can be used instead
- Rob (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay here. The food was excellent and the staff were superb in their care of us. -
- Karin (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed in one of the safari tents, it was very comfortable. Shower had hot water. The meals were very good and we even got 3 courses at lunch. Water was also included which was nice. I saw elephants, waterbuck, birds and mongoose at the camp. I did game drives with Innocent who was an amazing guide. Great value for money!
- Catherine (9/5): A good value safari base - Very well placed for game drives and channel, with wildlife wandering through. Comfortable beds and friendly staff. The showers in both our rooms were very feeble and not very warm. The food was very, very salty which was a shame as it would have been very good otherwise.
- Malcolm (2/5): Disappointing - Staff were pleasant & helpful Mud like water coming through taps/shower/toilet! Husband got very ill. Ants all over dinner table & floor.
- Roberta (10/5): Everything so special! - The place is a dream, the food is sooo good. We slept in the superior tent and we enjoyed it so much, there were elephants and hippos on the night/morning (no worries there are rangers all night ling) - everything was so special! The staff is the cutest and very much available for everything.
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional -

- Kesaundra (10/5): - Loved my stay at Engiri. I didn't want to leave. The place, the staff, the warm staff, the elephant and hippos roaming about in the mornings - I loved it all.
- Amrit (9/5): Superb -
- Wendy (10/5): Engiri where service is a priority for guests - The service was beyond compare: exceptional meals prepared in a timely way with a choice of options. The guards were helpful, polite and professional when escorting you around the campsite. The shower had hot water which is rare in rural areas. The campsite is close to the magnificent Kazinga Channel. One elephant visits regularly they call "John." This is a very organized operation they have here. N/A
- Caroline (9/5): Overall - a pleasant stay! Would stay again. - Location is great. Close to the NW sector of QENP. Lots of wildlife in/around the property. Elephant John, mongoose, and a waterbuck all came for a visit during our stay. WIFI drops in/out a little. Tent was nice, there's a outlet to charge your batteries. Shared shower block was basic but good. Staff was helpful to organise trips (a guide and boat tours in QENP).
- Maurizio (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing with Elephants walking freely around the lodge, super nice staff!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent quality, and exceptionally nice staff!
- Ma (10/5): Exceptional - Sooooogood!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is so friendly and helpful.
It's a great place to wind down, use a base for game drives and the food they serve is excellent!
- Kmopere (10/5): Wonderful - Great food, service, location
- Smrketata (10/5): A perfect Stay in Queen Elizabeth National park - This was one of our favorite stays in all of Uganda. Everything was perfect—the staff, the location, the food, the views, and the wildlife. We were woken up at 6 AM by an elephant having breakfast right in front of our tent—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! We’re so glad we chose to stay here. We have no complaints—it was a perfect stay!
- Shaimaa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (10/5): Great location with animal encounters. - The staff were great & the wandering animals made it a stay to remember. Many thanks to Patience & Onyx in particular. We would recommend and we would definately return.
- Brittney (10/5): Great wildlife experience right at the camp that we will never forget! - This was one of the most immersive experiences we’ve had during our travels to Africa. It was absolutely surreal to have wildlife like elephants and hippos walking right through the camp and something we were really hoping would happen! At no point did we feel unsafe. It’s within a good proximity to the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth, and the staff can help you book a local guide if you’re self driving. The guide they contacted for us (Ronaldo), was amazing. From the manager, to the security guards to the general staff, everyone was very accommodating and we had a fantastic experience. We were in a tent (not a lodge) so our review is based on the tenting experience. There was nothing not to like! Despite sleeping in a tent, we actually had a very comfortable sleep.
