The rooms look like a safari-tent and they are super clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. The bathroom has lots of space. Our rooms had a wide balcony where you could seat and enjoy the view of the lake and the sound of wild animals. Philip, the owner, is a great guy. Meals and drinks are served in a beautiful wooden deck outside, with great views and service.

Beautiful hotel in front of the lake and within Queen Elizabeth NP surroundings

Well placed, pretty much within the Queen Elizabeth National Park, making it a very convenient location for driving in the park. Great staff, lovely rooms (all seperate units) and obliging staff. Good food and provides packed lunches. 

Convenient Location for QENP

Kasenyi Safari Camp was one of the best experiences I've ever had.  It's well within Queen Elizabeth National Park overlooking the Bunyampaka salt lake and surrounded by wildlife (hippos, hyenas and lions could be heard at night). The tent is spacious with a big comfortable bed, a good shower, and a raised decking area overlooking the lake. The staff were so incredibly kind and accommodating, and really went out of their way to make my stay extra special. Lunch and dinner was delicious, and a late dinner was even kindly served after a night game drive. I plan to visit again.       

Special camp with first-class staff and service.

My mom and I were fortunate enough to spend two nights at Kasenyi while traveling through Queen Elizabeth. I cannot recommend this lodge enough! Being right outside QENP we had so many animals that wandered through the camp—including a hippo that came by during dinner one night! The tents are so unique, our tent was incredibly large with a thatched roof and a gorgeous balcony facing the lake. The staff at Kasenyi could not have been nicer, going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The laundry included was such a great plus! The food was also delicious and plentiful, and we really appreciated that they actually served Ugandan food! Our final night the owner arranged a bush dinner as a surprise for the guests which was such an incredible experience that we will never forget. The night hyena safari was so cool too! The only feedback I’d give is to either provide a fan in the tents and/or screen the doors so they can be left open as it gets warm during the day (but was very comfortable at night for sleeping).

Beautiful location with lovely staff and great food

Loved the location, the staff, the rooms, the owner, and the food of this safari camp! Our last night they even did a Bush dinner for all the guests which was so amazing under the stars and with excellent service and food. We loved our individual "cabins" in the woods. The only thing I would say is a fan would be great as it got very very warm during the day and as you are falling asleep but was a very comfortable night sleep after the sun went down. We met the owner whose love for the people of the area and the property was evident. I highly recommend staying here and exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park and the private reserve it sits on. The nighttime hyena safari right next to camp was a definite highlight.

Perfect safari location outside Queen Elizabeth National Park

STAY AWAY!!!
Maybe the setting is nice, maybe the view is nice but that's it. We've camped with a car with rooftop tent. The shower was disgusting. Dead and living small worms came out of the sinkhole of the shower (a few 100), all of the showers btw. The smell was awefull. The most dirty shower in my life (and I'm used to low standards). I told this to the manager, he said he don't care, just pay, I don't care what you think he repeated... I asked to clean this for the next guests, he got mad and started shouting to us. In 2 weeks Uganda I met sooo many friendly people, and just 1 rude guy, Phillip, this manager. He is not worth the Ugandan nationality... We were the only guests in whole the lodge  (surprise, surprise), and the kitchen was closed, no food... Just drive 5 minutes further to kasenyi lake retreat, much better and cheaper. Do yourself a favour and don't stop here as long as this beast is the manager.. The only thing he cares about is money...

Stay away!

This is a great lodge, it's a mix of a rustic safari lodge with touches of luxury. The location is central to a lot of the activities people come to the area for (the boat ride, game drives, chimpanzee trekking). Phillip, who owns/runs the lodge is a gracious host. The food was fresh excellent. And you should try the homemade banana whiskey! The service is wonderful and son got sick when we were here (not related to the food here, just bad luck!), and the staff was so kind to him.

Great lodge.

This is one of the best places you'll stay in Uganda, and it's not because of its rooms (which are incredible) and it's not for the location (which can't be beat), but what makes this place really special is the people. The staff and Phillip (the owner) really make you feel like a family. I had the best time drinking a Nile and talking to Winnie about the similarities and differences of Uganda and the US or showing Ruth our Leopard pictures from that day. It was one of the best hotel experiences of my 100+ hotel stays.

Can't Wait to Come Back

Stayed for 2 nights in June, wish we could've stayed longer. The place is spotless, the food fabulous but the people who work here are the best thing. Great location for visiting the north and south of QEP - get a guide at the gate for the north (get these at 7am) and take the boat trip on the channel in the south at Mweya if you can.

Great location, fantastic people, great food

When you arrive you meet this very beautiful lady named Ruth who welcomes you and fulfills every wish while you stay in the camp. She is the soul of this lodge. Thank you so much. 
The owner of the camp- Philip- is not just a lookalike of Morgan Freeman, he is also an expert and friend of hyenas and gave us an unexpected gift and was doing a nightdrive.
