Elephant Plains is a luxury lodge located on the most spectacular viewpoint in the whole of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Perched 941 metres above sea level, high upon the western escarpment of the Albertine rift in the northeast of the park, the lodge offers panoramic views stretching for miles over the huge open grasslands to lake George.
Guest accommodation is across 6 cottages and 2 family cottages well-spaced for privacy all with exceptional views across the national park. Each spacious cottage has a large ensuite bathroom with shower and bath, comfortable large beds, and generous verandas with snug seating. Other lodge amenities include a spacious dining terrace, a well-stocked bar, a secluded lounge area, an evening campfire and large swimming pool with a view.
Set in 80 acres of pristine wilderness, a short drive to the park gate, nowhere else here can you sleep closer to the equator. Set above lake Kikorongo from where the open plains merge into the crystal waters where Elephants come to drink from the water. The Kasenyi plains has fantastic game viewing, a huge number of grassland birds and is a major breeding ground for the Ugandan Kob which attracts lions and other big cats to the area. The open plains and large number of wildlife mean photographic safaris are extremely rewarding.
