Our cottage, called Hammerkop, was large, comfortable with good bed, large floor fan, surprisingly good wifi, room safe, full midern western bathroom including bidet and tub, excelent hot water. No refrigerator, no TV, no telephone, no AC, etc. Dont be a city slicker, this is safari bush. Full board is included because you are in the middle of national park with no food options nearby. Food is excellent, especially considering your location. All meals are a la carte pre-ordered with an option for Western and local dishes. They have a good looking swim pool, ample bars and lounge areas, wild animals roam the camp in morning and evening. QENP is a great national park for game driving. Dont miss a boat ride on the Kazinga channel. jay altieriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place! Staff was magnificent, friendly and helpful. Could see so many animals just by being there including elephants walking through the property. Highly recommend. Edden BergmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vi bodde en natt på Buffalo Safari Lodge i Queen Elizabeth National Park i västra Uganda tillsammans med några vänner, och det blev verkligen en minnesvärd upplevelse. Vi bodde i en stor villa som var uppdelad i två delar, där vårt rum var väldigt rymligt och hade två stora king size-sängar. Rummet hade dessutom en övervåning med en inomhusbalkong där man kunde sitta och blicka ut över kanalen mellan sjöarna i nationalparken. Lodgen har en väldigt öppen och naturnära känsla, med restaurang, poolområde och utsikt över det vackra landskapet. En av de mest häftiga sakerna under vistelsen var att vi faktiskt såg en elefant beta i närheten av poolen medan vi badade. Eftersom vilda djur rör sig fritt i området behövde vi också ha med oss en beväpnad vakt när vi gick mellan rummet och restaurangen efter mörkrets inbrott. Det kändes både tryggt och väldigt speciellt. På morgonen, när vi skulle gå upp tidigt för frukost och sedan åka på game drive, fick vi dessutom se en stor elefant gå mitt inne på hotellområdet, inte långt från vårt rum. För oss som kommer från Europa kändes det nästan overkligt och sagolikt. Maten på lodgen var mycket bra. Vi åt både lunch och en trerättersmiddag där, och frukosten var också väldigt god. Personalen gav ett trevligt intryck och hela vistelsen kändes välorganiserad och genuint minnesvärd. Det enda mindre minuset var att det blev ganska varmt i rummet på natten, vilket gjorde att sömnen inte blev den allra bästa. Det fanns både takfläkt och en större bärbar fläkt, vilket hjälpte en del, men den bärbara fläkten lät ganska mycket. Det förekom också några kortare strömavbrott vilket påverkade fläktarna tillfälligt. Vi såg även några små ödlor inomhus, men de höll sig på avstånd och störde oss inte. Allt som allt var Buffalo Safari Lodge en fantastisk plats att bo på och en upplevelse jag varmt kan rekommendera till alla som besöker Queen Elizabeth National Park. Särskilt för den som älskar elefanter är detta nästan ett litet himmelrike. Alexander NordforsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tolle Lodges an toller Lage mit tollem Blick (und Besuch von Elefanten, etc. am nahegelegenen Wasserloch :-) ) und tollem Team. Jederzeit wieder, wir empfehlen euch weiter! Finch StTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible location. One of the elephants in the park comes by to visit (John) and it was so cool to see him crashing in. Great food options, especially the local dishes they offer. Staff was wonderful all around and brought a delicious birthday cake. Would highly recommend! Sima AmsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible stay at buffalo safari lodge. The entire team there were so friendly and accommodating. They made us feel so welcome. Not sure why we were surprised but the food was pretty good. They take your order in advance and do a 3 course meal. Phenomenal soups, each and every one. We also liked the fried pork chop the best and some desserts were pretty good. There is a pool overlooking a watering hole. The entire time we were there buffalo were just hanging out. While we were eating lunch one day, we had a great view of several elephants wandering in the distance. Another elephant came to visit at reception. And the best part, we were woken up by an elephant right outside our bedroom door. Being so close to the animals made this experience so magical. The only thing that was a negative was the lack of consistent hot water. It would turn on for a little at the start of the shower but never stayed consistently hot. Luckily it was pretty warm so not too big of an issue. All that being said, you can’t beat being right next to the park, the views and the wildlife right at your front door. We’d happily come back for another stay. Gabrielle BuiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent two wonderful nights at Buffalo Safari Lodge. Such a nice place. We had both sides of the "M" cabin right near the lodge. Rooms were gigantic and comfortable. We had a viewing balcony, too. Meals were absolutely great. Like many safari lodges you order your choices at the meal before, and we were served great good. Drank cold Nile, Tusker and Bell beer. The pool is a highlight. Super clean and clear. We watched elephants in the nearby clearing while relaxing in the pool! When we arrived an elephant walked through the dining area. Having dinner outside was super great. I would happily spend a week here. I will mention that we did lose power for a few hours one night, but that's the way it goes in the jungle! We have 0 complaints and loved it.

Es war unglaublich!Posted on Thomas SVerified One of the best safari lodges - great! One of the best lodges we ever experienced. Very kind and helpful staff, really nice rooms and excellent location. The service was outstanding!Posted on ClaremareeVerified Excellent location and friendly staff The staff were above excellent with friendly service and so helpful and nothing was too much to ask for. The security were super generous with their time to ensure I had the experience of the animals when they came into the lodge. The room is lovely. The decor and layout was excellent, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The viewing room upstairs was amazing and I would have liked to spend more time just to sit and watch from the high lookout over the forest and to the river. The fruit bowl was a lovely touch but there was no cutlery or plates to use. The food was fine, but some dishes were maybe a little overcooked. Yoghurt and a muesli/granola would have been a good addition for breakfast. In summary I would definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Lodge.Posted on Hummarock122Verified Wonderful stay near Queen Elizabeth National Park Beautiful and private accommodations near Queen Elizabeth National Park and on the channel. The grounds are wonderful with lots of animals wandering nearby. The food was excellent, staff excellent, the cottages are beautiful with a balcony to look out over the landscape and the channel. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!
