Your Comfort is Our Priority – Uganda Horizon Safaris
Welcome to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa — a land of breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and warm-hearted people. But your journey doesn’t end with game drives, gorilla trekking, or boat cruises. One of the most essential parts of your safari experience is where you stay. Whether you are seeking a luxurious eco-lodge overlooking the savannah, a cozy tented camp in the rainforest, or a charming guesthouse near a bustling town, Uganda offers a wide range of accommodations that fit every taste and budget.
At Uganda Horizon Safaris, we carefully select and recommend accommodations that reflect the beauty of their environment while providing exceptional service, comfort, and unique character. We work with trusted partners across Uganda to ensure that your stay is memorable, immersive, and comfortable — whether you’re sleeping under the stars in a national park or waking up to the sounds of chimpanzees in a tropical forest.
Uganda’s accommodation options are as diverse as its landscapes. Here’s a guide to the most common types:
For those seeking a real safari feel, tented camps offer an intimate connection with the wilderness. These are not basic camps; most have large walk-in tents with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, solar lighting, and delicious meals cooked on-site. The sounds of nature are part of the ambiance.
Examples: Ishasha Wilderness Camp, Kasenyi Safari Camp, Chimpundu Lodge (luxury tented suites).
Ideal for: Wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers looking for a truly immersive experience.
These lodges provide great comfort and style at a more affordable price point. They often feature en-suite bathrooms, beautiful views, and locally inspired architecture. Many are eco-conscious and employ community members, giving guests a responsible and authentic experience.
Examples: Primate Lodge Kibale, Buhoma Haven Lodge, Pakuba Safari Lodge.
Ideal for: Adventurous couples, small groups, photographers, and nature lovers.
These are often located in or near national parks and offer world-class comfort, personalized service, and stunning views. Think infinity pools overlooking the Nile, bathtubs with savannah views, or fireplaces in your private chalet. Lodges such as Mweya Safari Lodge, Kyaninga Lodge, or Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge deliver a refined experience while still connecting you to nature.
Ideal for: Honeymooners, families, or travelers looking for indulgence and serenity.
For travelers on a tight budget, Uganda offers well-maintained budget lodges, backpacker hostels, and community-run guesthouses. These are great places to meet fellow travelers and explore local culture. They are clean, safe, and typically offer private or shared rooms, simple meals, and communal vibes.
Examples: Red Chilli Rest Camp (Murchison), Ruwenzori View Guesthouse (Fort Portal).
Ideal for: Backpackers, students, budget-conscious travelers.
These properties promote sustainable travel, often using solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and eco-friendly construction. Some are managed by local communities, allowing guests to experience Uganda’s hospitality while directly supporting conservation and livelihoods.
Examples: Ruboni Community Camp (Rwenzori Mountains), Bunyonyi Overland Resort, Mount Elgon Eco-Lodge.
Ideal for: Conscious travelers, families, and birdwatchers.
Spectacular Locations: Stay on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, along the shores of Lake Victoria, beside the Nile River, or within the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Wildlife at Your Doorstep: Many lodges are unfenced, so don’t be surprised to spot elephants, warthogs, or monkeys from your veranda!
Locally Inspired Design: Expect African decor, natural materials, and traditional craftsmanship.
Exceptional Cuisine: Enjoy fresh, organic meals with flavors of Uganda and international cuisine.
Warm Hospitality: Ugandans are known for their friendliness. Expect genuine smiles, attentive service, and personalized touches throughout your stay.
Most lodges offer on-site or nearby activities, turning your accommodation into a destination in itself:
Nature walks and birdwatching
Cultural visits to nearby communities
Traditional dance performances
Night game drives
Sundowner cocktails and bush dinners
Spa treatments and massages
Canoe trips or boat cruises
