The Lodge is situated at the edge of East Africa’s Great Rift Valley System believed to be one of the geological wonders of the world. The Lodge offers beautiful scenery of the open plain of Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Albertine lakes of ‘George and Edward’.
Accommodation/ Cottages
Each cottage features an ample free air bone balcony which provides a wonderful view of the Game Park in the expanse of the Rift Valley. The Fabled snow-capped mountains of the moon (Rwenzoris) hardly 50kms from the Equator can on a clear day be seen from the balcony of any of the cottages and is indeed a spectacular sight.
The cottages are spacious and feature large en-suite bathrooms and beautiful showers. The Extremely luxurious twin and double beds in the cottages are locally crafted out of tropical hardwood.

Meals are served in the spacious restaurant overlooking the breath-taking scenery of the open plane of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Depending on the weather and preference, meals and drinks can also be served at the luxurious open garden bar (with a bar counter overlooking the fantastic view of the rift valley) adjacent to the restaurant.
