Buffalo Safari Lodge

We spent two wonderful nights at Buffalo Safari Lodge. Such a nice place. We had both sides of the "M" cabin right near the lodge. Rooms were gigantic and comfortable. We had a viewing balcony, too. Meals were absolutely great. Like many safari lodges you order your choices at the meal before, and we were served great good. Drank cold Nile, Tusker and Bell beer. The pool is a highlight. Super clean and clear. We watched elephants in the nearby clearing while relaxing in the pool! When we arrived an elephant walked through the dining area. Having dinner outside was super great. I would happily spend a week here. I will mention that we did lose power for a few hours one night, but that's the way it goes in the jungle! We have 0 complaints and loved it.

- Beautiful gigantic room with two beds and thatch roof wood floors and our own veranda very private grounds are beautiful with views of wild animals from pool and veranda best room so far very spacious and beautiful with private veranda and delicious food and over the top service - Saw two male and one female lions and followed female walking towards water males were brothers and one had limp leg that was caught in a trap but brother helped him - Amazing view and room and food and saw lots of birds at dinner and breakfast best service of any resort. Elephant walked by reception area and saw more near the pool - security always aware of wildlife

Best hotel in whole Uganda, we love'd it! So good food, safe, lovely staff, amazing surrounding with all the animals all around

Very nice hotel and friendly staff. Highly recomend staying at this place. Listening to the wild animals and seeing them play when enjoying the pool area

Don’t hesitate for a second to stay here - what a wonderful place!! The food was excellent and always served with a smile. We especially loved Godard - he is an excellent host. The rooms are incredible- so spacious, clean and lovely! Every detail is thought of - ceiling fans, a giant oscillating fan, huge beds, great water pressure, and beautifully appointed. The staff thinks of everything - bringing water to our rooms, providing water for teeth brushing, meeting us when we arrive from every safari with hot towels. The pool area is very nice. The best part are the elephants who wander through the property. It’s unreal! All in all, the Buffalo Safari Lodge is now one of our all time favorite places to stay!

A beautiful lodge in a suburb location. Hippos grazing outside our front door was something very special. The room, service and restaurant were all excellent. Thoroughly recommended for all safari travellers - couples, singles and families.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon in Jan 2026, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was beautiful, well-sized and appointed with everything we needed. Without air conditioning, we were still very comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the staff and the property itself. The service we received was incredibly warm, kind and attentive. The food exceeded expectations, and everyone we interacted with on the property provided excellent customer service. The hotel's proximity to a watering hole makes for the opportunity to have a poolside safari! We saw all sorts of animals while relaxing in the pool and even came face-to-face with an elephant on the way back to our room one day!!!! Amazing stay, great people, great value! Very grateful we got to experience this place.

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.

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!
