Kasenyi Lake Retreat Lodges & Campsite

El lugar, si quieres tranquilidad es perfecto!!

Si no te gustan los sitios "wild", no vayas.

Lovely bandas, food really good, and a power socket to charge our phones - what else could you want? But best bit was meeting an elephant on the way back from the village after buying bottled water. And the hippos hoovering up grass a few metres from our window every night was great too.

Softer chairs needed

This is a magical place! You are staying in the heart of the national park - elephants, hippos and plenty of birds at your doorstep! Sunset and dawn will give the place a magical touch! This is a truly astonishing place. Staying here is an adventure & you support the local community which is living in the national park. This is a very important contribution to nature conservation - it is so important that the local communities benefit from national parks & not only the owners of the high end (and high price) lodges. But be prepared to be very close to nature - if you panic when hippos & elephants walk through the camp this might not be the right place for you. Otherwise it is totally worth every dollar, euro or ugx. The huts are super comfortable, clean and well maintained. Of course it is not a super luxury place - but honestly who needs that if nature provides all that beauty. You can get to the camp with bodas or you can get picked up by a driver (around 80k). The drive to the camp is a mini safari on its own. Tip: We made the mistake to book a safari in advance from an company in fort Portal - rather arrange something with the locals - our neighbours did a boot trip on the lake with a local fisherman & they loved it! You can cook your own meals if you are traveling on budget & know how to cook on fire :) Thanks for this experience!

The animals (hippos, waterbuck and warthogs) coming onto the campsite at night was fantastic. The location also meant we weren't paying park fees to stay there because the access was on a public road. The evening meal around the campfire was also great.

The rooms were tired and dirty. The mosquito nets had holes in. Signposting to the campsite was poor.
