Elephant Hab Lodge is a luxury lodge located near Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park, just a 10-minute drive from the starting point for chimpanzee trekking. The lodge buildings are made of wood, canvas, and grass-thatched roofs, allowing them to blend well with the natural surroundings.
While relaxing at the lodge, guests enjoy clear views of the wilderness and may see herds of elephants grazing or vervet monkeys nearby. The lodge can be reached by road through the Kampala-Fort Portal Highway, continuing to Kasese, then to the Kazinga Channel, and finally entering Kyambura town where the lodge is found. By air, tourists fly to Kasese Airstrip and then drive to Kyambura town.
Elephant Hab Lodge offers some of the best accommodations in Queen Elizabeth National Park, with single, double, twin, and family-sized cottages. All cottages are self-contained and have private, spacious cabins.
Features include private bathrooms, flush toilets, king-sized beds, mosquito nets, hot and cold showers, chairs, tables, wooden floors, and bedside lamps.
Facilities and services at the lodge include:
- An infinity swimming pool for cooling off during the heat of the day
- A spacious restaurant where meals are prepared by skilled chefs
- A therapy hub offering different types of massages, each with its own benefits
While staying at the lodge, tourists can enjoy nature through various activities. One of the main attractions is a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a 40 km waterway that connects Lake Edward and Lake George. The cruise takes about 2 hours and allows visitors to see wildlife along the shores, including hippos and crocodiles.
Bird-watching is another popular activity, as Queen Elizabeth National Park is home to over 600 bird species. Birds can be seen all year, but the best time is from May to September when there is less rain.
Tourists can also take part in community tours around Kyambura, where they learn about local culture and visit community projects.
Elephant Hab Lodge offers comfort and a strong connection to nature, making your visit a memorable experience.
