Bush Lodge

Top choice in Southwestern Uganda


An excellent budget choice, this exceptionally run bush camp sits on the banks of Kazinga Channel frequented by elephants, forest pigs, warthogs and hippos. There are basic tents with beds (and power outlets), and private bandas (thatched-roofed huts) and safari-tents with outdoor showers clad in bamboo and composting toilets. Meals are wonderful, with tables arranged atmospherically around the campfire.

At night guards walk you back to your tent, lest hippos be on the loose.
