EXCELLENT Based on 209 reviews Posted on H PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The lodge consists of separate houses. The houses offer a lot of room and have large bathrooms. After dusk, you need to ask a lodge employee to accompany you to/from your room. That's a bit annoying, but I'd rather do that than have an unexpected encounter with a warthog in the dark. We could choose our food from a diverse menu. The food was great, among the top three on our trip. The highlight however, were the resident elephants that passed by every day.Posted on Magembe GodfreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a place you must visit when you come to Queen Elizabeth National Park, the only lodge where animals give a visit anytimePosted on oliver -Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was perfect, real wild life experience with the combination of luxury rooms!Posted on Viktor MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Сидели целый час под шлагбаумом , не выпускали... даже не понятно почему... Опоздали на сафари. Жадные , брали полный пакет , но чай не входил в цену. Стоит 3 доллара.Posted on Giacomo ViolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best accommodation we experienced during our wonderful tour of Uganda. We stayed two nights in this lodge set inside Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our triple room, maybe a bit old, was anyway huge with three double beds and lovely African furniture. Bathroom was very big as well but a bit empty and the hot shower had a very low water pressure. Food, both dinner and breakfast, was excellent and service very attentive and kind. Icing on the cake was a “visit” from an elephant during dinner, this charming animal walked close to the restaurant, calmly eating trees and walking on the path towards the rooms. An amazing experience.Posted on Marina CescoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam! Wir haben so viele Tiere gesehen es war toll, die Elefanten waren um uns herum! 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!
