Game drives provide great opportunities to check out the wildlife of the national park. There is plenty to see here – almost a hundred species of mammal and 600 types of bird. The varied geography, ranging from savanna to swampland, is home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, chimpanzee, black-and-white colobus monkey, hippo, crocodile, waterbuck, topi, warthog, and giant forest hog. We particularly recommend looking out for the tree-climbing lions!
Chimpanzee tracking is available too, within the mysterious sunken forest of Kyambura Gorge.
You can take boat trips along the Kazinga Channel and hike up the Rwenzori mountains.
A lot of visits to local attractions are also possible – to the Katwe Salt Lakes, the Omwani coffee tour and café, and the Omumashaka wetland.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Family room
Rather charmingly, each is named after a chimpanzee from the gorge. Two are doubles, five are twins, and one is designed for a family or honeymooners. Amenities include mosquito nets, bedside lighting, and well-appointed en-suite facilities comprising flush toilet, twin washbasins, and shower with hot and cold running water. Each banda also benefits from a private veranda, where you can marvel at views of either the gorge or the sweeping savanna of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
